5 Tips To Get Through Finals

In This Article:

Finals have arrived and the semester is close to an end, yet it feels so far. We all want to do amazing to reach that 4.0 GPA but your mental health is important! So to get through these finals here are few tips so you won't feel COMPLETELY dead.

1. Keep Healthy Snacks While You Study

As appealing as junk food sounds, it is best to keep healthy snacks that will fill you up like blueberries and almonds!

2. If You Don't Know It By Midnight You Won't Know It After

Giphy

Your mental health is important just like these grades! All nighters are not the way to go and you will perform better if you have enough sleep than if you stayed up all night cramming everything at once.

3. Take 20 Minute NapsĀ 

Giphy

As great a long naps sound, with just 20 minutes you will feel more energized than if you take a 2 hour nap. Even though more seems nicer, don't you ever feel less motivated after sleeping for so long? It is because your body had gone into a deep sleep mode and waking it up before a full sleep will make you feel "eh."

4. Cry it Out

Giphy

Listen, I know I should not be saying to not cry, but sometimes exams can overwhelm you and it is best to just let those tears out. Once you finish crying just tell yourself, "I got this."

5. ASK QUESTIONS

Giphy

Do not feel like you are annoying your professors and tutors by asking them so much. You spend so much in tuition, so you deserve to know everything!! Better to be annoying than unprepared.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
