It’s not too late to jump on the “How to Survive Finals Week” bandwagon. While you only have 2 days left during Finals Week, here are a few suggestions to make a smooth transition to the end of a stressful week, and the beginning of a nice, fun, and relaxing weekend.
* Have a good night’s rest. Be sure to sleep more than 6 hours, and you won’t find yourself a sluggish zombie the day of your exam.
* Try to eat healthy. You know what they say, “a healthy body leads to a healthy mind.” Instead of cramming junk like soda, chips, and twinkies into that little mouth of yours, try eating an apple, an orange, and some yogurt.
* Set reasonable study goals, and work hard to keep at them. Don’t set aside a whole day to memorize your biology book; instead, study a chapter or two each day. If you find yourself in a “study rut,” try using color-coding and flashcards to create mini-challenges for yourself.
Remember, even though finals week is tough, hang in there, and stay focused. You can reward yourself for all your hard work after exams are over! 🙂
