A Survival Guide For Finals Week

A survival guide for finals week

It's coming up unfortunately and it's probably the most stressful week you'll have in the semester and for some reason, every time it comes around it seems like the universe has it out for you. Here are some tips that have helped me and hopefully can help you!!! Feel free to add on!

Carry water with you everywhere. Nervous? Drink. Tired? Drink. Angry? Drink. Get hydrated and drink lots of water.

Don't cram. Get GOOD sleep. No all-nighters. Please

Start studying now. When the week comes, you'll be too stressed to actually study effectively

Take walks. When you get stressed and overwhelmed, take a walk! Get out of your room and head and just walk until you feel better (please be safe though)

Caffeine

Eat something healthy. Not everything has to be healthy. But some foods like salmon, broccoli, whatever. Nourish your body and it'll nourish you back

Save some money so you can take the week off.

Have a relaxing outlet that doesn't take energy. Maybe a cozy game? Latte art?

Play with some animals. This is scientifically proven to reduce stress btw so it's for health reasons

Your finals don't always happen when your classes happen so make sure you triple check dates and times

Feel some sunshine

Get a good Playlist that makes you happy

Try some yoga or something to distract yourself when you wanna cry

Learn how to harvest salt from your tears

If it's a cumulative final, go through past exams and quizzes and stuff. Those tend to cover the "important" material and will likely show up

Make cute study sheets! I know if my notes look boring I CAN'T study

Naps! Bonus if they're with animals

Try to get a study group together and study and chill

Believe in yourself! You got this!!!! You're better than you think and I have full faith in you and your abilities!

If you love the class, study because you love it!

If you hate the class, study so you never have to see that fucking teacher and listen to that stupid class ever again in your entire life.

Make yourself happy, cute drinks and happy, cute meals

Celebrate at the end. Please. You deserve it

Don't let it consume your every waking moment. It's just a test. Just another test

Tell yourself how amazing you are. You're doing something not everyone even gets the chance to. That's super awesome!!!

Eat some cake

Gum and crunchy veggies are both great stress busters

its really nice to see someone talking about this, i think its so important since just the other day my younger brother (a self identified gamer) ,when i was gonna change a game in easy mode since i couldn’t beat a battle, asked why that existed since its “cheating” and i realized that most people don't understand playing games isn’t supposed to be incredibly stressful and unfun. video games should be able to adjust to your abilities so everyone can have fun.

I also really like how minecraft has those sound captions and the arrows showing where they’re coming from. It makes minecraft one of the few games I can play without being paranoid if the sound are coming from the game or not.

also heres some hot takes for accessibility features that i feel should be in every game no matter what

interchangeable one handed controls (yes, even directional input)

all captions, including sounds ("[pig oinks]" etc)

high and low contrast modes

easy mode.

I started working with Aphrodite a few months ago so I’m not super experienced, but for me it started with sign from her such as smelling the ocean in the wind, pink flowers, blue birds, and other things that are related to her. I reached out to her by making an alter, using all the things that I find beautiful, sea shells especially. There are many different interpretations of Aphrodite, since she is a version of the divine feminine. She is the goddess of beauty and fertility but also of war and courage. She required a lot of respect, but she is not cruel. Do not be scared to ask about anything!

Hello! I’m wanting to work with Aphrodite as my deity, but I want to make sure I’m well educated before jumping in. I’d really appreciate any and all advice, guidance on working with her and what to be aware of and what not. I’m super new to this realm but super excited
