Finals and Stress. Two words that just belong together. We are all out here struggling to try to complete our assignments on time and making sure that we put as much time and effort as we can into every assignment. If you're like me you're hoping that these last few grades can boost up your overall grade in all your classes and maybe ... just maybe save your GPA.

There's no time for rest. We will all sleep when finals are over and its official summer break.

RIght?

Wrong!

Because, most of us have plans for the summer whether it be an internship, a startup we are working on, or just traveling with friends, summer is no longer a time of rest and relaxation. Everything keeps moving at a fast pace and there is never any time to chill or relax. That's why I want to challenge you to take small breaks during this final season and do things that make you happy.

Eat lunch with some friends and talk about what going on in your lives.

Take an hour break to watch a movie you enjoy.

Go biking or play soccer (any exercise to get your blood pumping).

You can even read a book for fun if that's what you enjoy.

Many studies have shown that students ability to perform on tests is connected to their overall mood, so don't think of these breaks as taking away from your education. They might just help you do better this finals season.
