How to Survive Finals




My finals start this week so I thought a refresher on how to live through this week would be a good idea. This year finals are a big deal for me since I am so close to being able to keep my 4.0 GPA, that I am going to do everything I can to keep it. Below I have some of the tips I use to help myself through finals.

SLEEP: You have no idea how much not sleeping hurts your grades. I don't care if you feel you need to study more, not sleeping will hurt your grade more than an extra hour of studying will help. It's recommended to get 8 hours of sleep so try to get that 8 hours for a couple days before the final.


Study: This is obvious. When you study make sure to do it productively. Put your phone away, sit in a quiet room, and remove all distractions. You'll find that you won't take as long to study, and what you did do will be easier for you to recall. 

Relax: The night before the big day or week, do something that will take your mind off of the final. Have a bubble bath and listen to music, or go for a run, or even have movie night with a close friend. Just whatever you do make sure to go to bed early enough. 

Eat: Don't eat because you're stressed, but don't let the stress stop you from eating. Eat all of your meals, especially breakfast. Breakfast helps you get the energy you need to stay focus throughout the day. 

Do you have any other tips you use?
xoxo,
Maddie
