Finals Week!

Finals are here. But don't panic! Well, panic. But keep these 5 quotes in mind while you breathe and study through the panic! 

1. Hard work spotlights the character of people. Some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their notes, and some don't turn up at all. 

2. Obsessed is just a word that the lazy use to describe the dedicated. 

3. You are capable of more than you know. 

4. Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts. 

5. Pain is temporary; GPA is forever. 

Now, here we go with Lindsay's (The Compulsive Study-er and Overachiever) Tips for Finals Week! 
  • For every 50 minutes you study, take a 10 minute break. 
  • Drink coffee. 
  • Read Spark Notes and watch Thug Notes - you do NOT have time to read that 300-page book that you put off all semester. 
  • Make flash cards and outlines to organize your thoughts while studying. 
  • Take legitimate study breaks to spend time with your friends. 
  • Don't forget to eat meals! 
  • Try and find some time to sleep in between studying and packing and cleaning. 
  • Wear comfy but chic clothes - you don't want to be uncomfortable while taking your finals, but you don't want to take finals in clothes you'll fall asleep in. For girls: wear a pair of leggings with a cute top/cardigan and easy shoes. Keep your hair and make-up simple. For guys: sorry, I got nothing...but y'all always seem comfy. 
  • Don't forget to PRAY! Jesus is always there for you, even during finals week. 
Good luck on finals, and may the curve be ever in your favor!

Sitting In Class

Yo so I'm currently sitting in my last biology class for the semester. He's talking about biomes right now, but I already know this stuff thanks to Mr. Beauregard at SMS in middle school, so I'm crazy bored. 

Did you know chaparral was a biome? I didn't know that one so I paid attention for a few minutes. Chaparrals are found in many coastal regions that border deserts. Who knew? 

So this week has been great. I've been one of the calmest people out of all of my friends. I finished my paper (due tomorrow) on Tuesday. I finished my reading for all of my finals on Wednesday. I plan on finishing my biology study guide right after this class ends, and my sociology study guide will be finished before I go to bed tonight. I'm totally on target for finals, and I could not be happier about that. 

HERE WE GO FINALS WEEK!!
