10 Affirmations for Finals Week: You Got This!

A notebook with affirmations of self-love, it says "you got this"


Finals week is so daunting. Each day brings a new set of anxieties: the looming shadow of exams, the endless pages of notes, and the gnawing fear of failing. It’s a week where sleep becomes a luxury, coffee becomes a lifeline, and the line between healthy study habits and obsessive cramming blurs. I have been there and I used affirmations of self-love to fuel my late-night study sessions.

The great thing about finals week is the camaraderie that binds students together and the quiet knowledge that this too shall pass. Finals week is a test of not just your academic knowledge, but your mental fortitude. It’s a week that pushes you to your limits but also reminds you of the incredible resilience you possess.

Finals are in sight, and your stomach might be doing somersaults. Don’t let stress take the wheel! Instead, inhale deeply, and say these affirmations of self-love to yourself. Remember, you’ve got this!
