Finals and test anxiety

It's that's wonder time of year again where all of the college students are stressed out beyond their wildest dreams. And why is that? Because it is finals season of course! I don't know one student that doesn't loath finals. They stress you out to the point of no return. Then they are over, just like that. Like notching every happened. Except lots can happen: grades go up, grades go down, students pass a class because of them, students don't pass a class because of them. They are pure hell. In my opinion I think that finals should be optional. That should be used for raising grades. Not lowering them. Some students do gray in all the class work and the quizzes but when it comes to test they bomb them and that's not fair. Test anxiety is a real thing. People could know it all and take a test and flunk it. It is not fair. They probably studied harder than the kids that get A's on the tests but it won't matter because grades are how lots of teachers view you and if you ge a bad grade, well to them it's like you didn't try or even study. That's not fair. So who is with me to make finals optional? Why can't we do this? :)Let me know what you thin! :) have a great night everyone and good luck on your finals! :)

College and Finals... BLEH! (the finals not college)

College can be one of the best times of your life. You meet a lot of your friends that you will have for the rest of your life. That roommate that was once a stranger is now your best friend, that cute boy that you noticed on the first day of class is your new boyfriend and things just get keep getting better from there. You'll now have tens of hundreds of new friends and friend requests. You'll have new followers on Twitter and Instagram that will actually like your posts because they like you and not because they feel obligated. Those people you never thought you would talk to because you thought you were invisible are now your good friends. You have your friends in your snapchats and not just your pets or family. And right now you probably have Snapchat streaks that go on for days on end. You can go to games and not have to worry if you'll be there by yourself. Things do get better in college you just have to put yourself out there even if you are not a people person or are just shy. These people will be your life long friends I guarantee it. There is a chance you may lose friends throughout college too but that's ok you have hundreds more you can make. Plus you are young and you don't need people in your life that don't need you! And if you ever want to make friends go to a party people there are usually really nice or drunk or both but it makes them fun. Have fun and just let your guard down, you'll never know what will happen!

As for finals, they are just a test. Yes they are big tests, but if you are willing to put in the time and study you will do just fine. If you stress while taking tests or have test anxiety here are some tips from the professional at stressing over tests because of test anxiety.

TIPS:
1. Study little bits at a time. If you have several subjects study little bits of each so you don't feel overwhelmed
2. Take a break ever 30-35 minutes to have a snack and make sure you are drinking lots of water.
3. Listen to music so you can zone out everything around you, I would suggest classical just because its been proven to help people concentrate better because there are no words.
4. Have a study buddy, they can help you stay focused.
5. Relax during the test and if you need to don't think of it as a test.
&6. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE STUDYING!!!

Christmas, Christmas Presents and Gift Ideas

It's the most stressful time of the year. Haha tricked you, you thought it was going to be the song, well you were wrong. Ok people let's get serious. Jokes LOL when have any of my post been super serious. Christmas should not be a time you are stressing out worrying about presents (or gifts, whatever you prefer to call them). This is going to sound like a broken record to most of you but this is the time of year that you need to be sending with the ones you love: friends, family, boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends, friends with benefits, who cares I don't judge. Just be happy with the people you want to be with and who make you happiest. Spread the love and spread the joy of the season. Some people don't get to experience this, so be happy you are lucky enough too. I want to go on by talking about presents. People can he hard to shop for so for so down below I will list of moms, dads sisters, ect and some ideas they might enjoy!
FOR:
Moms- You can never go wring with SCARVES. They are comfy, warm and fashionable. Most moms love them.
Dads- Dads love TOOLS and if you don't know what brand they want get them a GIFT CARD and make sure to specify it is for TOOLS only.
Sisters- No matter what age you can never go wrong with NAIL POLISH girls love it and any color will work. If you know their favorite color (or colors) get those.
Brothers- Boys like HUNTING and FISHING gear so this is acceptable for any age,
Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, & Uncles- I recommend RESTAURANT gift cards. They are simple and easy and everyone loves food.
Cousins - ITUNES gif cards these are east to find everywhere. Also TARGET and online shopping places are good places to get gift cards for them as well.
Girlfriends- Men you do not need to spend a million dollars on your girl. I would suggest a cute NECKLACE or BRACELET or even maybe a ring but not something that needs to breaks the bank, just show her you care. Also you could get her, her favorite CANDY and even some FLOWERS. And men this may sounds cheese but make homemade card and give it to her. She will love it guaranteed.
Boyfriends- Girls it may seem like shopping for a guy is impossible, but you can do it! If he likes to HUNT or FISH get him hunting and/or fishing gear. Make him a homemade card and be creative. If you don't know what kind of fishing or hunting gear he likes get him a GIFT CARD.

Hope this helps some of y'all feel less stressed about shopping and gives you a little help on what you could buy! Have a gray night see you all tomorrow!
