My friend is in the midst of final examinations and she's stressed out and frustrated with the material. What can I do to encourage her and/or cheer her up?

Bring her some food she likes, run an errand for her, help her review the material.

Second food

There's nothing better when you're burned out on studying than some good food to help get you energized again.

Nthing food, esp. fresh fruit, which is not something you can just order from Pizza Hut.

#1: absolutely send food.

#2: find another person who is generally patient and empathetic, and who has been through this before and gone on to great success, and have them call and explain that yes, this is stressful, and yes, it feels like it'll never end and you'll never succeed, but I felt the same way and it did end and I did succeed.

Food food food. Specifically, healthyish food. I'm in the midst of finals myself, and I've been eating crap food that's fast to make, but I'm craving VEGGIES.

If you have a nice pair of headphones, lend them to her.

Make some fantastically fun plans for the two of you the day after her finals are over. In my experience, it's so helpful to see that there is an end in sight, and that said end is going to be awesome.

So far, treats that have made my finals better: really good quality chocolate, tea, clementines or other easily eaten fruit
