Ways to say 'somehow' in Chinese?
I am looking for ways to say 'somehow' in chinese, in the following kind of contexts.
The journey wasn't easy, but somehow we managed to get there.
Patrick didn't study much at all, but somehow still managed to pass his exams.
I guess I managed to impress the interviewer somehow. ( I actually tried to translate this in my last notebook 我猜我设法给面试官一个好印象, but both corrections said my use of 设法 was incorrect here).
Thank you.

there is no exact translation for the word "somehow", it can be different according to the whole sentence.
The journey wasn't easy, but somehow we managed to get there.旅程虽然艰辛，但我们最终还是顺利到达了。
Patrick didn't study much at all, but somehow still managed to pass his exams. Patrick并没有花很多时间来学习，但不知何故，他还是通过了考试。
I guess I managed to impress the interviewer somehow. 我想，我可能给面试官留下了一个好的印象。

“设法（做了某事）”是“managed to do sth ” 的翻译
“somehow”的翻译是“无论如何”或“终究”

somehow 确实不好跟汉语的哪个词相对应，如果让我用汉语说你用英语说的那句话，我会说：我猜我会想方设法地给面试官留下一个好印象，或者：我猜我会想尽办法地给面试官留下一个好印象，我猜我会努力地给面试官留下一个好印象，我猜我会尽力地给面试官留下一个好印象。

I guess I managed to impress the interviewer somehow. 我猜我总算给面试官留了个好印象。
The journey wasn't easy, but somehow we managed to get there. 路途不易，但总算到了。
记住：可以翻译成“总算”，另外manage 如果这里翻译为设法，是不贴切的，设法并不表示成功了。
