As the final week of the quarter approaches, take a few minutes to read some easy tips to help you feel your best during finals week.
1. Study!
While this is a “duh” tip, make sure you take the time to study in depth for your final examinations. Make an outline of the material and use your best studying method to learn the information. Whether you do best by copying notes again, making flash cards, re-reading material or having someone ask questions out loud, make sure you know what works best for you and use it to your advantage! If you are unsure what study habits work best for you, visit our Librarian, Fawn Atkins in the new Library on the 3rd floor to find out!
2. Tell Your Family / Friends You’ll Catch Up With Them When Finals Are Over
Not everyone understands the importance of college final examinations. Make sure you tell your family and friends that you need extra support during this week. This could mean that someone helps watch the kids so you can study and have quiet time, it might mean you take extra time to stay at the library or simply that you’re off ‘dinner duty’ this week. Make sure they know that they are important to you and you appreciate their support and can’t wait to spend some quality time with them just as soon as finals are over.
3. Rest
Finals can definitely take the energy out of you. Make sure you take the time to get a good night’s rest and avoid cramming last-minute information. When you cram last-minute, information is easily forgotten, especially when you are tired. Study early and often and makes sure you leave time for a good rest the night before and a healthy meal that morning.

Not Quite Where You Want To Be? That's Okay!
Opportunity
It seems like a word we hear pretty frequently, but do we take the time to stop and think how it can impact our own lives?
Life is a constant challenge. We are faced with obstacles and hardships and sometimes wonder how long we’re going to survive. It’s no wonder that sometimes, we fall just a little short. We fail. We take that hurdle in front of us and instead of jumping over it…we crash straight through it. Is that okay? It sure is…because the other thing this life gives us is opportunity.
Robert Frost gave the best quotation about life when he said, “In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life…IT GOES ON”.
If your life hasn’t led you to exactly where you want to be, now isn’t the time to get up. Maybe it’s time to review that resume and start looking for the job you’ve wanted…maybe you need to go back to school to get the education you need or maybe you need to clean up some things your personal life. Whatever the case may be, write down the word OPPORTUNITY somewhere that you will see it. Look at it every day and remember that it’s your decision on what to do with your life…make the best of it.
