It’s the end of the semester. Should I cheer or continue to drown in the amount of work I have left to do. The happiest time of the year is right around the corner but it’s so hard to see through all the work that needs to be done. Finals are no doubt the most stressful point in the semester but you can do this.
I have this conversation with myself every single year. After four years you would think I would be able to manage the stress that comes with finals week and yet here I am not knowing what to do first. I know I’m not alone. I know there are others struggling just as much if not more than I am. You can do this.
I’m writing today to free my mind of everything that stressing me out. I’m writing to tell myself that I can get through this next week. I’m writing for everyone who thinks that they can’t accomplish what needs to be done. There are enough hours in the day. Everything will get done. We can do this.
The amount of stress a college student experiences throughout the semester is unlike anything we’ve experienced thus far in our lives. I’m partially writing to motivate others, and I’m partially writing to motivate myself. While everyone is saying everything will work out it’s hard to believe. For the past week or so we’ve been living off coffee and most likely junk food. We haven’t been sleeping nearly enough hours. And our minds are already home with our families for the holidays.
I know I speak for many college students as I write this but most importantly I speak for myself. I can do this, you can do this, we can do this.
Good luck on finals everybody. Take the next month for yourself for your family for your loved ones and relax. The end is near. Now let’s finish strong.
