Finals Week: A Survival Guide

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Vanderbilt chapter.

Finals are just a few weeks away for those of us at Vandy (oh, how I wish I had gone to my hometown college that gets out of class this week) which means it’s time to brace ourselves for the hard times that are to come. Your sleep schedule is going to be even more off than it was before, you will master the true “I Woke Up Like This” look for all your morning classes, and that one time you decided to half-ass an assignment way back in September is going to come back and haunt you when your average is an 89.9 in a class that has an “absolutely no rounding policy”. But the one good part about finals week is how great you feel when it’s all over. It’ll feel like you just conquered the world, upstaged Mother Teresa, and found the cure for cancer all in one fellow swoop, albeit a very stressed, sleep deprived, cranky swoop, but one fellow swoop nonetheless. So to help you get to the glorious end of finals week, here is your unofficial guide to surviving finals.
