Her Campus Finals Survival Kits As Told By The Office

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

Finals Week. The five-day period where you have your last tests, papers, and dreaded group presentations all due at once. It’s like you didn’t even see it coming. Anxiety builds and caffeine intake skyrockets. You calculate every possible grade you could get to meet your grade goals. You wonder if you will even make it out alive. Oh yeah, you also become more dramatic. You are never quite sure whether you want to laugh, or you want to cry. Luckily for us, Her Campus sent our Delaware chapter a Finals Week Survival package just in time for our mental breakdowns.

Here’s a list of what we got:

 

1.     Chipotle Buy One, Get One Free Coupons

During finals week, there seems to be a correlation between stress and unhealthy eating. Whether you are studying in Morris, the Chapel, or in your bed, take a break and get yourself a burrito. Remember, calories don’t count during finals!

 

2.     Michael Kors Scented Flash Tattoos

These trendy and SCENTED (who knew that was possible?) flash tats are perfect for going out and celebrating your semester’s worth of hard work. You deserve to look your best and these flash tattoos are guaranteed to amp up your outfit. [Honestly, you could even save them for spring semester and wear them to a dage!]

 

3.     Tresemme Sea Salt Spray

It’s finals week and you know what that means! No time to shower. But when you do have time, make sure to use this Sea Salt Spray by Tresemme. This spray will give your hair some effortless beach waves. You don’t want people thinking you are trying too hard, so here’s the perfect way to still look good without all the hassle.

 

4.     Proactiv Kit

We all like to pretend that we have grown out of our break out days, but stop kidding yourself, you still get pimples. The combination of anxiety and greasy foods does not do great things to your complexion. Using the Proactive Kit will help you by not adding extra stressors in your life. You don’t got time for that.

 

5.     Vera Bradley Key Cases

These cute and stylish wallets will be getting a lot of use from you during the week. You will quickly feel and see that your wallet is getting lighter and thinner by the day. If you aren’t already addicted to coffee, you are about to join the club! Also, no need to worry about defrosting chicken, take out is the way to go. Whatever you do, don’t check your bank account balance. Save that for another day.

 

6.     Cold Eze Samples and Coupons

It’s almost too convenient that winter falls right around finals week. With the change in temperature you will notice an increase in the amount of sniffles, coughs, and sneezes you hear. Cold Eze is a quick fix to help shorten your cold and it works fast. Take it with your first sign of symptoms and you’ll be ready the study again in no time!

 

7.     5 Hour Energy

Energy drinks are bae. When you feel like coffee is just not cutting it for you, head straight for the 5 Hour Energy. Finals week is the only time Morris is open 24 hours so you better take full advantage and pack a 5 Hour Energy in your backpack.

 

Thanks to all our sponsors for providing us with all the essentials to get through this semester’s finals week. Good luck to everyone and happy holidays!
