One Pimple is One Too Many - Finals!

Hello everyone!

My apologies for being MIA these past few weeks, I had finals!
Which brings me to my topic this week... GETTING THROUGH FINALS!

It may seem like a lot to stress about but I promise, you can get through it!

- Don't freak out!
The worst thing possible is to stress yourself out to the point of a breakdown. Believe me, you will get NOTHING done and will only hurt yourself more.

- Take it one thing at a time
Have a MILLION of subjects to study for?
Hakuna matata! Organize your time in order of most importance and get things done! It may seem like a lot but once you organize everything into a realistic schedule, it seems so much more manageable.

- REST
I can't tell you enough how important it is to get good sleep! An all nighter might seem like a good idea the day before a big test but I can tell you right now, IT'S NOT.
If you really feel like you need to pull an all nighter, consider doing one over the weekend. I KNOW, crazy right? But if you stay up all night before the big test, you'll be tired, cranky and you're not going to remember anything you studied!

- Work hard, play hard
Taking a break may seem counterproductive to studying but if you don't allow your brain to rest, you'll overwork yourself! Now don't take a five hour break -- fifteen/twenty minutes every so often will give you the break you deserve without getting you completely off track.

Hope you all have a good finals week!
Drink plenty of water, eat right and just remember -- you can do this!
