Finals: Self-Exhaustion?

At this time of the year (or should I say semester?), college students are the busiest. Actually, at this time and in the middle of December. And you might ask why. For one, finals week is approaching fast and some of us are so behind lessons, we have to catch up (*coughs*). Yes, there's so much cramming during finals, we lose sleep and can't eat a decent meal. What's worse is that the weather in New York is heading towards the 80s soon and we're stuck [at home]. At least it's better than not being able to go out during 90 degree weather, right?

Here is some advice for those of us whose nervous systems are about to blow up:

1) Take a 10 minute break. It won't kill you. Grab an iced coffee, mocha, latte, whatever fulfills you. Did I mention that Baskin Robbins is doing a 31 cent scoop tomorrow night? That should be break-worthy.

2) Take a nap. Even a 30-minute nap is fine. Staying up for 48 hours straight is no good at all and can affect the brain, which is something we all don't want. Especially for a final. Besides, your eye-sight can become worse if you face the computer screen or book all day. Ladies, you don't want poofy eyes now, do you?

3) Take a nice bath. Don't think about the work. Forget all your problems during that time!
