Sometimes there are just weeks that totally kick your ass, and that's okay. Midterm and finals weeks tend to be the best examples, but every once in a while, you get a week that knocks you off your feet for no apparent reason. I'm tellin' you, God laughs. However, fear not, friends! For there are ways to make your horrible week a little less horrible.

1. Take a Bath

It sounds basic and cliche, but it can really help. Light some candles, add some bubbles, pour yourself a glass of wine, and just take sometime for yourself.

2. Spend Time with your Friends

Your friends know you, and if they're in the same situation, like in the case of finals week, they may know exactly what you're going through. Confiding in friends can be extremely helpful and can help immensely with stress levels.

3. Go Out to a Nice Dinner

Grab a friend or SO and just get away from it all. Your favorite restaurant can be the perfect de-stresser, and even the act of getting dressed up can better a mood.

4. Watch your Favorite Movie

Curling up with some popcorn and watching your favorite movie can always help you get through a rough week. Watching something you can quote by heart may give you a sense of comfort, which could be a nice change compared to the all the stressful surprises the week has gifted you.

5. Treat Yo' Self

My personal favorite? Go all Donna and Tom on the situation and treat yourself. That eye shadow pallet you've been drooling over? Go for it. Taco Bell for the 3rd time this week? It's fine! Online shopping extravaganza? What could be better? This may not be the best state of mind for an everyday basis, but it definitely could help with a particularly stressful week.

Everyone has bad weeks, but with these tips, it may end a little better than it started. I also think it's really important to try to laugh it off and try not to let it get to you!

Rely on your friends or SO, take a breather, buy the shoes!

Life's what you make it, so let's make it rock.
