How to Survive Finals

I am definitely not used to having to prepare for final exams. My high school final exams were super easy and also heavily curved, so college finals are a whole new ball game for me. I am super excited for these next two weeks to fly by and then spend some time in Tampa relaxing and enjoying the holiday season! 

Here are my lifelines to surviving this crazy pre-holiday finals season:

1. Coffee

I'm not talking about a mocha-latte-frappa whatever - black coffee is what keeps me going on just a few hours of sleep and a whole lot of reading and studying.

2. Brain Food

I am anything but a health nut, but lately I have been really into plain vanilla yogurt! I buy a ton of it at the grocery store, and then add fresh granola and honey to give it some substance and taste. If I'm feeling bold then I'll add some fresh fruit, too. But the yogurt sold that already had fruit in it is scary - vanilla with fresh additions is the way to go. 

3. Cozy Sweaters

Comfort is key to surviving long days and nights in uncomfortable chairs holed up in the library. This sweater from Madewell looks like it would do the trick!

4. A Good Break

My favorite? Parks and Rec. My brother and I have a tradition of watching this show during finals every year, it will be weird doing it alone this year! Other valid options are Pinteresting, baking, exercising, or retail therapy. Anything that keeps you sane. 

5. Emergen-C

There's nothing worse than being sick during exam season, and I have a special knack for always experiencing this phenomenon. Emergen-C is my go to every morning to keep me feeling healthy!

Best of luck with exams and end of the semester craziness!
