Finals Week Survival Guide: From Panic Mode to Power Mode

Finals week = caffeine overload, stress meltdowns, and the library becoming your second home. Here’s how to survive without frying your brain.

1. Plan Backwards

List each exam/paper and map study sessions by priority. Don’t wing it—schedule it.

2. Snack Smart

Caffeine + sugar = crash city. Mix in protein, fruit, and actual water. (Yes, water is a flex.)

3. Protect Sleep

All-nighters feel hardcore, but your brain learns less when it’s exhausted. Sleep = memory glue.

4. Break & Breathe

Study in chunks. Step outside for fresh air. Finals are a marathon, not a sprint.

Real Talk: 

Finals aren’t about proving your worth—they’re just checkpoints. Take care of yourself first; the grades will follow.
