This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at GWU chapter.

Congratulation are in order! We made it! Well…we almost made it. Our annual school year cycle was looking just fine and dandy. The unpacking? Check. The sorority recruitment? Check. Midterm week? No check. 

However, there’s no need to fret. The Her Campus GWU team has all the answers. We’re here to suggest the five little things you need to get you through the midterm grind. 

Congratulation are in order! We made it! Well…we almost made it. Our annual school year cycle was looking just fine and dandy. The unpacking? Check. The sorority recruitment? Check. Midterm week? No check. 

However, there’s no need to fret. The Her Campus GWU team has all the answers. We’re here to suggest the five little things you need to get you through the midterm grind. 

1. Rimmel London Mascara. With minimal sleep for weeks, the bags under our eyes are begining to look a little TOO dark. Brighten up your face, and your eyes, with a quick swipe of mascara. Rimmel makes a great bottle that applies smoothly. Who wants clumpiness…not me! 

 

2. Juicy Couture. Track is back! Throwback to juicy couture velour sweatsuits. R.I.P. While we may not see the clothing around any more, Juicy perfume is still accesible and it smells AMAZING! Couldn’t sneak in a shower before that 8 a.m. midterm? Just swipe on some perfume! No one will know. 

 

3. CamelBak. Keeping hydrated is a necessity during midterm szn. Feeling underweather paired with late night studying is NOT a good combination. CamelBak is great water bottle that keeps your water cool for hours–great for long hours in the library! 

Keep these few tips from our team in mind and rest assured that you will kill it on your exams! From my lips to your professor’s ears, “A’s for everyone!” 

5. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. Dunkin coffee. Starbucks coffee. Wawa coffee. Honestly, just any coffee. By the end of this week you WILL have personally relationships with baristas.  Oh, and some Chipotle is nice post midterm treat!
