It’s the last stretch of the semester and finals have filled the library with students. The long nights, essays, and endless hours of studying have left little time to even think about what to get my best friend for Christmas this year. BUT! In just one weeks I will be home for the holidays, and that is what is motivating me to keep pushing through. That, and all of the awesome events my school (Boston University) has planned to alleviate students from stress. Therapy puppies, free massages, and complimentary midnight breakfast are just a few of the ways my university, as well as many others, motivate students. Finals are crucial to your grade, given that grades are typically comprised of only a few tests and a couple papers in many college courses. However, instead of cramming last minute, I find it beneficial to begin studying early and taking breaks in between sections. Sleep is also very, very crucial! If you go into any test with only a few hours of sleep you are less likely to remember what you stayed up so late studying for. I expect my finals to not be a walk in the park, but with plenty of rest and studying, I am confident I will do just fine!

Welp, back to the books!

Happy Holidays!
