Today's Path: The End of Finals

Today was the last day of finals for me this semester (insert sigh of relief here). This week of finals has been sooo stressful. I never have stressed this much over finals, ever!!! I was so stressed that I was giving myself a headache, not intentionally. I mean ibuprofen wasn't touching it bad.

I don't even know why I was stressing. All I had to get on any of my finals was a C, and sometimes less, to keep the grade I had in the class.

During this week I have found a couple more things to add to my list. They include:

I needed to relax this week and if I knew how to do these two things it would have really helped.

Finals Week

One of, if not the number one, most dreaded week of the year. FINALS!! :(
The one good thing that comes from this week is knowing that at 10:00 A.M. of Friday, I am out of school until August. But until Friday, the week is full of cramming for finals, all nighters to finish papers and the entire stock of Red Bull, Mountain Dew and any other caffinated beverage college students can get their hands on.

The one question that every college student would love to have the answer to (or at least I would) is: how can we avoid these? Well there are a few different ways.

1) Wake-up in the morning.
I know, you're in college. You want to sleep until 2:00P.M. But get your lazy but out of bed before 8:00 A.M. for once. If you get up in the morning, you will have more time to study. This doesn't mean that you should still stay up until 4:00 A.M. to work on that paper.
2) Get good sleep.
I am guilty of not doing this as well. There is something about working online at midnight that for some reason draws me to it.
Go to bed at a decent hour and get your rest. You will appreciate it on Saturday.
3) Don't skip meals
You need your energy, and four Red Bulls does not equal a meal. Sorry. Don't let your diet go. You need nutrition to get your homework completed.

If these don't work, there is always this solution:
** Find out how much it would cost to pay off your professors.
This is highly unlikely seeing how they usually want a large chunk of money. And seeing how we are college students we don't have any!!

Good luck on your finals!!
