Welcome back Mustangs!
I hope everyone
had a great Thanksgiving break filled with lots and lots of food. Now that we
are all adjusting back into doing our homework and going to classes, I just
want to let everyone know that we only have three weeks left in the semester!
It’s crazy how fast November flew by. These last three weeks can be extremely
stressful, especially with finals week coming up. I have yet to experience the
“horror” of finals week, but I have received great advice from upper classmen
on how to survive it.
These last two weeks before finals week are very
important. The due dates for final projects are quickly approaching, the stress
of studying for multiple exams is beginning to build, and the excitement to go
home for a month is forming like a raging fire. Then there is finals week. The
advice I have been given is to not cram all of your studying into one day.
Spread out the studying based on which finals are first and which ones are
last. Another piece of advice I was given is to not stay in your dorm room all day
every day. Yes you need to study, but your brain needs a break at some point.
Don’t mentally drain yourself. It’s okay to go out for an hour or two in the
day and have some fun. And the most important piece of advice I got is to not
skip your finals. I know that it seems like common sense, but people still skip
the finals.
Enjoy these last three weeks of the semester and make
going home your motivation to finish on a strong note. Remember, don’t get too
stressed out and take time to give yourself a break from studying.
Good luck on the rest of the semester!
