Go Grocery Shopping<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to fuel your body and your brain by eating healthy throughout the week. If you don\u2019t already have fruits, veggies, and healthy snacks in your room, then go stock up before finals week. It\u2019ll be really helpful to have these on-the-go items with you on days where you\u2019re studying at the library and need a boost of energy. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.34.05-AM-1024x681.png\" alt=\"The exterior of Dorsey Market\" class=\"wp-image-2613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.34.05-AM-1024x681.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.34.05-AM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.34.05-AM-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.34.05-AM-600x399.png 600w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.34.05-AM.png 1630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><strong>3. Call Your Friends<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t go into this week alone. Studying and reviewing course material with your classmates may be the best thing you can do for yourself. Two heads are better than one, right? Reach out to the people you\u2019re friends with in each of your classes and try to set up a time to study together, even if virtually on Zoom.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.35.05-AM-1024x680.png\" alt=\"A phone on top of some papers\" class=\"wp-image-2615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.35.05-AM-1024x680.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.35.05-AM-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.35.05-AM-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.35.05-AM-600x399.png 600w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.35.05-AM.png 1626w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><strong>4. Relax<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going into finals week overwhelmed and sleep deprived isn\u2019t going to help anyone. Take this week beforehand to catch up on sleep, enjoy time to yourself, and be in a good headspace. We recommend going on walks and spending some time outside before you have to go inside and study. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.37.17-AM-1024x682.png\" alt=\"Three students walking to Millet Hall, next to them lie big trees with white flowers\" class=\"wp-image-2617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.37.17-AM-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.37.17-AM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.37.17-AM-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.37.17-AM-600x399.png 600w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/student-life\/files\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-9.37.17-AM.png 1466w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><strong>5.
