10 Things That Got Me Through Finals Week

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

Through all of the late hours at the lib and the mental breakdowns over group projects, I really didnt think I was gonna make it. Thankfully, I found my fave items to help me survive mostly from the HC Survival Kit! Here is a list of things that helped me to keep my sanity during the week, maybe next year you can try some of these out!

1. Peppermint Stick Luna Bars

With Christmas coming SO soon and legitimately no time to eat breakfast during this week, these Luna Bars helped me to start my day off right. Somehow, they almost made me forget that I was about to walk to the library to spend 7 hours there!

2. Yogi Blueberry Slim Life Green

Green tea is energizing because it has caffein, but it also detoxes the body. Late nights full of studying and weird eating habits plus a semester full of drinking and greasy food do not equal a happy body. This tea tastes amazing and also helps you feel better about your semester long binge-eating regrets!

3. Camelbak Water Bottle

In between all of that coffee it was necessary to take water breaks! This water bottle kept me hydrated during the week but was also cute enough to carry around! The straw is such an awesome design too, love this water bottle!

4. Hairspray 

Studying until 3 AM and then waking up at 7 again meant that there was absolutely no time to get glamorous. This week, instead of taking time to actually blow dry my hair, I just used a little dry shampoo, threw my hair up, and covered it with this amazing hair spray! This product kept the fly aways at bay during my most stressful hours at the lib.

5. Ben & Jerry’s

It’s a love hate relationship between fast-grading teachers. On one hand, you already know your grade! On the other hand….well…bring on the Ben & Jerrys.

7. SNAAAACKS

Seriously, salt and pepper chips from Kettle Brand are a major food group for me. And the maple bacon popcorn is a staple in my diet, obviously. Without these two snacks, I just don’t think I would’ve made it.

8. Cold-Eeze

Hanging out in the lib all day at the end of the semester is definitely not the best environment for your immune system, and unfortunately you can’t call in “sick” to a final. This medicine fended off my systems and kept me healthy right up to the end!

9. Chipotle

I think I went to Chipotle every day this week…or maybe that’s just how many times I dreamt about it. Either way, life is truly burritoful with Chipotle Buy One Get One Free cards.

10. Finally, Online Shopping

With a $10 gift card to Bauble Bar in my pocket, buying 3 new necklaces didn’t sound completeley outrageous at the time…What? It’s retail therapy!
