It's that time of the year, friends. Get ready for lots of blood, sweat, and tears ... lots and lots of tears. It's finals week! Here are some ways to relieve that ever-so unavoidable stress we're all about to endure for the next few days.

1. Breathe

It's only one week out of your life that will make or break your semester, just remind yourself of this and you should be fine — hopefully.

2. Take a study break

I mean, if Ryan Gosling is telling you to then how could you say no?

3. Go on a run

Running is actually one of the biggest stress-relievers out there. So go lace up those running shoes and get to steppin'!

4. Listen to music

Don't be ashamed of loving Justin Bieber's new album. Turn that bad boy on repeat and the volume up and have your own mini dance party in your room (not like you haven't already).

5. Comfort food

Forget the diet you've already failed at staying on all semester. Binge eat as much grease and sweets as you need, you deserve it.

6. Call your mom

Sometimes crying to your mom about how stressed you are is actually what you need. She'll let you know everything is OK and remind you that you'll be eating her home cooked food in just one short week. Bye, fale sodexo chicken!

7. Study in groups

Sometimes studying with a group of people actually makes the studying that much easier. You can ask questions and swap study guides since y'all know you haven't even started on them yet.

8. Turn the phone off

Seriously, turn it off. I get your new "bae" just DM'd you on Instagram but dude, if you don't pass this history final you can kiss that Dean's List spot good-bye.

9. Make a list

Planning out everything you need to do for the week will make your life seem a little less hectic. But only if you stick to it.

10. Coffee, coffee and more coffee

Drink it up, pal. You've got some long nights ahead of you.
