Finals Week Survival Guide

      The semester is slowly starting to wind down. It's almost time for finals and the fun that comes along with them. (All nighters, caffeine binges, the works!) So for any of my dear readers out there (there's at least one of you, right?) I figured I'd round up some sites that might make those late night last minute study sessions a little easier. No, this doesn't really follow the theme of my blog but hey, when life gives ya lemons- make some lemonade. Here's your finals cold glass of lemonade.

Music definitely makes studying more bearable. So why not check out some cool playlists? 8tracks.com is an AWESOME music website. Since it's user created playlists, you'll never know what you'll find and that's what I love about it. Here are some of my personal favorites:

• "The Science of Studying" - Piano covers of popular songs (without lyrics)
• "Indie/Folk Covers the 80's"  - Indie and folk artists cover popular songs from the 80's. (with lyrics but quiet, smooth and sweet so it definitely works great for essay writing) 
• "Insert Indie Song Here Dubstep Remix Pt. 5)- There's an entire series of these by the same creator but they're all equally awesome. Pretty self-explanatory, indie songs remixed and dub-stepified. This playlist definitely keeps me awake the later in the night I listen to it but beware, it's hard to resist the dancing.  

       Now say it's one of your Dead Days. You've finally cracked down and are in the zone when it comes to going over those flashcards or finishing that review when your stomach growls. Food sounds amazing right now but you are in no way putting on pants and going out for food even though there's nothing in the pantry. So what do you do? Check out CollegeDelivery.com! You can easily order and pay for your food online and they'll deliver it right to your door.
