Fun Things To Do While Taking A Break From Finals
Odyssey

Take a break from finals with these fun tips.

Start a New Series on Netflix. One of the most relaxing things to do is come back to your dorm room after a long day of studying, pile up in bed, and turn on your favorite show. Some of my favorites are “Gilmore Girls”, “Once Upon A Time”, and “Friends”.

Grab a Cup of Coffee. Running down the street to our local Dunkin’ or Starbucks can really help you relax. Also, a caffeine boost is always appreciated.

Play with Puppies. Here in Rome, Georgia, there is this magical place called Petland that actually lets you play with puppies. Embrace the puppy kisses.

Sleep. Sometimes a nap is all you need to help you regain your focus. Lay down and refresh, even if it is only for a few minutes.

Take a Hike. One of my favorite things to do take a break is hiking. A mindless walk through pretty leaves and the brisk air might do you some good.

Read Something. Reading may be the last thing you want to do especially after doing that while studying. But if you read something that doesn’t take much effort, it may help you regain your thoughts.

Scroll through Social Media. This can be dangerous if you’re not careful. Don’t let this consume your time. However, checking out the fun things your friends who are done with finals are doing.

Clean. I know what you’re thinking, “What the heck is she thinking?” Cleaning can actually help you relieve stress. Nothing says letting go of stress like scrubbing your bathroom floor until it’s spotless.

Hang with Friends. Surrounding yourself with positive and supportive people is one of the best stress relievers. One of God’s greatest gifts is friendship, and we should definitely take advantage of that.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
