10 Ways To Destress During Midterm Week
Stocksnap

Midterm week can get hectic—sometimes a little more than dead week does. Here are a few ways to wind down.

1. Painting

Art can help us take your mind off of your inevitable doom, otherwise known as the exam that's sure to lower our letter grade, and then some. But no worries. Paint on Picasso.


2. Take a Relaxing Bath

Mask the smell of fear with a bath bomb.


3. Take a Nap

Sometimes, all you need is a nap. Sometimes, five in one day.


4. Listen to Music

Music is a great way loosen up. Blast the volume and dance!

5. Watch a Vine Compilation Video

Adam!


6. Hang out with Friends


Call up your friends—chances are, they need it just as much as you do.

7. Food

Forget about all your worries and eat your sorrows away.

8. Cute Animal Pictures

Having a ruff day? Treat with cute animal pics! Those are doctor's orders.


9. Work Out

Haha funny one, but seriously. A good way to release stress is to work out. Try going for a run or exercising at the gym!


10. Get Dubs in Fortnite

Nothing better than a #1 Victory Royale!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
