It is that fateful time of year again when one can literally feel the stress in the air when they set foot on any college campus: Finals Week. Last year I checked off this week as the most stressful time of my entire life (at least, that's how I made myself feel about it).
This year is different.
This year I only have one exam and I've kept up to date on all my projects. I don't feel unprepared or overwhelmed. It's a miracle!
Sadly, not everyone else is feeling the same way, so I've compiled some tips on how to cope if you're in my shoes. Or more like how to help others cope from your de-stress sidelines while they're out on the stressful gridiron.
First off, you're now officially a cheerleader. Pick up the pom-poms and rock that short skirt because your friends need all the positivity they can get during this stressful time. Be the voice of optimism! Dance around if that's how you'll get the point across.
Help them study when they ask. If they ask, you deliver. Whip out the flash cards and quiz them and don't ask questions. Unless they pertain to the subject matter, otherwise don't whine. You've got nothing on your plate so be helpful!
Literally, that's only two rules. Anybody could follow them. I could add more but I'm trying to keep it simple. So please, keep them in mind while you're binging Netflix and your roommate is drowning in their own tears. This has been a public service announcement for Finals Week. Please, heed my words.
