Finals are right around the corner. As a senior, I understand the pressures of finals on the new freshmen and how time to study can easily slip away from you. So, to help those who are stressing out about this crucial week, I have compiled a list of DOs and DON’Ts from my own experience. DO make time to sleep. It’s not worth it to stay up all night studying if you’re tired in the morning. I recommend at least 5 hours. DO eat well. Always remember: breakfast is the most important meal of the day, even if it’s just a breakfast bar! Pizza and Monster Energy drinks are not a healthy diet for finals week. (Take it from me.) DO break up the information into “bite size” chunks, and begin studying a week in advance. (That means now.) Repetition makes information stick. DO study with classmates. Just make sure that you stay on task! DON’T neglect your social life. Manage your time wisely and make time for yourself between study sessions. Mini golf or bowling are my activities of choice. DON’T stress. The finals aren’t as hard as you think they’re going to be (unless you’re nursing or pharmacy). DON’T ignore any material not on the study guide. Study what your teacher tells you to, but go back and look at everything else, just in case. DON’T neglect your projects. You should have been working on them already, but if not, get crackin’! Projects take more time than just studying. Make it worth your time and something you’re proud of presenting to your teachers. I hope that these...
