At Temple, there is exactly one week until the end of classes for the fall semester. Although it isn’t technically “finals week” yet, I know a lot of people who already have loads of stress bubbling inside of them. I personally would rather listen to Christmas music and bake cookies, but that isn’t happening any time before the end of the semester. Here are a few tips to beat the end-of-semester heat!
- Make lists of what you need to do. The list may be overwhelming at first, but once you begin crossing items off, it feels much better.
- Keep organized. You don’t want to be scrambling at the last minute looking for your notes to start writing a paper or studying for that exam. Try to get everything together (if it isn’t already) and keep it neat so you’ll be ready to go when you start.
- Take a deep breath. It may seem like the end of the world right now, but you can get through this!
- Take a break! Nobody can study for days (or even hours!) straight. Walk away from your desk. Put on a few Christmas songs (or any other song – but it is the holiday season!) and rock out. Go for a walk in the city. Watch your favorite TV show. Visit your favorite blog. Call a friend. Do anything you can to get your mind clear and off of things.
Good luck with this last week of classes!
