5 Ways To Relieve Finals Stress
Victoria Heath

Hey guys. Amy here coming at you live from the 6th floor of the stacks. I'm supposed to be studying myself but instead I've decided to help all of you lovely people with ways to relieve stress and survive finals. I know it feels like you want to drop out but just listen to these coping methods I have for you:

1. Take a second to breath

When sitting looking at all your work, you may get a little overwhelmed, and that is ok. Just take some deep breaths to center yourself.

2. Take a bath or do a face mask

It takes 15-20 minutes of time you could have spent staring at your phone or procrastinating. This is a nice easy way to give yourself a little lovin'.

3. Exercise

God, I hate exercise. But I promise you this really helps relieve stress.

4. Schedule out your days

I know this is what we want to write during finals and honestly, it's not wrong but time management helps! Make time for each subject you need to study and include meals, breaks, exercise, and whatever you need to do.

5. Acknowledge how you're feeling

Yeah, this sucks. Remember, it is OKAY to feel stressed or anxious. I can almost assure you every single other student is feeling the same way, you're not alone.

Just get through it, it will all be over before you know it! Just work towards that good grade and keep reminding yourself this feeling is only temporary and it will be over soon. Best of luck with finals my darlings, keep pushing!

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.

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.
