10 Ways to Get through Exams, as Told by Parks and Recreation

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

There you are, sitting in the same spot you’ve been sitting at for the past several hours, surrounded by loose papers and empty Starbucks cups, debating if college was really the right decision with the looks of your upcoming exam season. It’s a tough time to get through; sleep is a beautiful luxury, some form of caffeine is a necessity, tears are shed, and Netflix is about the only thing you’re not tempted to give up on. But it’s nothing Parks and Rec doesn’t know how to handle! Here are a few tips to get through your next few exams:

Don’t Run Away from Your Problems

Distractions will NOT help you get that A.

Get Some Sleep

8 hours might be pushing it, but some is better than none.

Stay Positive

No matter how badly you feel, a smile can work wonders

Take Study Breaks

Netflix, anyone?  

Don’t Be Afraid to Vent

Get it all out – Kleenex may be needed!

Focus on the Outcome

Soon it’ll be over, and all your hard work will pay off

Control Your Emotions

Try to remember that the professors are not out to get you.

Never Forget to Eat 

Hangry is the worst way to study, amirite?  

Confidence is Key

Don’t second guess yourself – you CAN finish this!

Exams are over? You know what to do.

YOU DESERVE IT.
