Here we go, the last two weeks of classes and a week of finals. I will officially be done with sophomore year in three short weeks – time flies at the University of Iowa. While it brings me relief to finally be done with another semester, it also makes me a little sad that I\u2019ll be saying goodbye to my city for another summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As these last few weeks come around, I wanted to remind everyone of a few of the resources provided at Iowa to help out with this final stretch. This time of the year is both busy and laid-back. . . it\u2019s such a confusing time. While I don\u2019t have as much homework anymore, I do have to begin studying for finals. It\u2019s all about time management and self-discipline which isn\u2019t always easy to manage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few resources at the University of Iowa that have helped and will continue to help me. Don\u2019t forget to take advantage of all the things offered to us here! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

Group Fitness Classes @ Recreation Center<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a student, you can automatically participate in FREE fitness classes offered at the rec center. There is a variety of options from zumba, yoga sculpting, cardio\/strength intervals, cycling, and much much more. Grab a friend and participate in a class. They don\u2019t last longer than an hour, it\u2019s led by great people, and they\u2019re so much fun to be a part of. This not only serves as a great study break, but you\u2019re also keeping active and healthy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

University Counseling Services<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

This time of the year can get really heavy – and it\u2019s important to check in with your mental health as well. Finals can get overwhelming, ending an academic year can bring about worries for the future, and much more. Sometimes it helps to take a step back and just debrief! The University of Iowa provides GREAT counseling services through Student Health that is easy to take advantage of. You can go one time, make it a weekly thing, or just pop in every once in a while – whatever works best for you. All you have to do to schedule an appointment is make a quick phone call and they\u2019ll fit you in their schedule. Sessions last anywhere from forty minutes to an hour. It’s important to take care of yourself through these last few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Writing Center<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Although I still can\u2019t decide if I\u2019m happy one of my classes has a paper as the final, I\u2019m rolling with it! Since it is a big part of my grade, I want to make sure it\u2019s the best shape it will be in when I submit it. Through Iowa, I am able to schedule free 30-minute writing appointments with tutors! There are both graduate and undergraduate students that you can schedule appointments with. It\u2019s easy, helps SO much with the process of writing papers, and they even have a little \u201ccoffee corner\u201d at EPB that you can help yourself to when visiting. The staff and students are friendly and you walk out feeling more confident about your paper. You can visit as many times as you want as well. I usually visit once at the beginning and once at the end before submitting a paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CAB Activities\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Although I\u2019ve never really participated in activies held by the Campus Activies Board, a lot of my friends have and they enjoy a lot of the events! One of their favorites are $3 movies at the IMU on weekends and the various concerts held through out the year. During finals week I know that they hold a lot of activies at the IMU such as a free pancake breakfast, 10 minute massages, free chips and queso from Chipote and more. A definite must to check out during finals week!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The last three weeks are both exciting and overwhelming, but don\u2019t forget all the resources available at the University of Iowa! Here we go Hawkeyes, the final stretch!<\/span><\/p>\n
