Have you ever been faced with a challenge or had to do something difficult but changed your mindset to positive thinking to help you get through it? A quote that underscores this idea is: “Don't think anything is unrealistic if you believe you can do it.” Having a positive mindset, especially during a stressful time like finals, can help students relax, remember, focus and absorb more information that you have learned.

Finals are upon us, and stress, worry, and anxiety may be common thoughts as exams loom. But, don’t forget the hard work and countless hours of learning and studying that have been part of the past four months. Consider these encouraging quotes: “May all your practice and preparation meet with the best of luck! All your hard work is about to pay off. Go out and give it your best shot. Whatever happens, you've already got a lot to be proud of!”

Finals are around the corner and the semester is coming to an end. For some of us this marks the end of our first semester and for others it may mark the beginning of our last semester. No matter where we are in school, it is important to keep working hard to finish the semester strong. Here are a few tips to help prepare for finals in the upcoming weeks.
