Finals are quickly approaching and college students everywhere are terrified. We grab our flashcards, computers, class notes and study guides. Most of our time is dedicated to re-reading old notes at the library. As we spend hours meticulously calculating what it will take to get an A in the class, we feel our minds slowly descending into madness. As the stress begins to build, we search for a way to relax and the procrastinating begins. If you are one of those students, then this article is for you.
