The last two week of the semester are the most stressful. Almost as stressful as Finals week itself. Making sure that you have asked off work or organized your time around work and making sure you have everything you need to get all of your projects done, papers written, and studying done for finals. Successful preparing for finals week can make the actual finals much easier and less stressful. By starting early, it is easier to plan out what needs to be done by when so that you can be as successful and possible and not worry about finishing everything or forgetting something. Some tips include:
- Making a timeline of when you want to work on the final for each class
- Set a day or time for each class
- Set a certain portion of each class final for each day
- Set study breaks
- Plan in distraction time (we all need a break and sometimes a 30-minute nap can really save you)
- Get good snacks and drinks when you start studying (sometimes a drink run can turn into too long of a distraction)
- Set a solid playlist to help you stay focused
Whatever you do, you are going to be successful if you put your mind to it. Good luck and know you are in the home stretch!
