I've heard the horrors of finals week from older friends and sisters and I must say I'm already feeling it, but I've found comfort in knowing that everyone else is stressed to! So just know that you're not alone in this, remember what Sister Steadman said that now is not the time to give up on sleep and good food-- and that does not mean junk food that "tastes good"-- we need to be on top of things! Finals are important but they're not always the end of the world, or at least that's what I keep telling myself so I don't shut down in the stress of it all. I don't know if I'm the only one but I find joy in looking at those memes about finals week (be careful though multiple ones swear so don't just google them)
If I may give just one more piece of advice: maybe read your scriptures before your study session! I learned this early on in the semester and I am so thankful that I did; I had a lot of mid-terms to study for and I was stressed out of my mind so I decided one day that I would take the time to really study a talk or the scriptures for as long as it took. And you know what?! I was able to sit down and do SEVEN hours of studying without losing my focus! It just goes to show that as we put God first in all of our doings whether that be doing out home/visiting teaching or personal scripture study that the Lord will put our needs first as well! He wants us to succeed and that's just what we'll do!
