10 Ways To Indulge In Self Care During Finals

In This Article:

With finals fast approaching, it's easy to forget about self-care. Take care of your mental health during this crazy time and don't throw your own well-being away for that A. Here are some ways you can indulge in self care during finals. Do at least one (or all) of these things to help!

1. Take a bath!

Grab a bath bomb and get in the tub to relax!

2. Go meditate.

Try to clear your mind for at least 10 minutes away. Take that time to focus on your breath and not your stress.

3. Try some yoga

Do a quick 20 minute yoga session to relax between long study sessions.

4. Curl up for a nap.

Power naps are extremely energizing and can help you stay awake longer.

5. Eat junk food.

Sugar and junk help you focus and it tastes good too! You can eat healthy when you don't have a calculus exam tomorrow.

6. Take a walk.

It's April and the weather is nice! Flowers are in bloom! Dogs are outside! What more reason could you need?

7. Buy yourself something nice!

Order something online that will get here after you're done with finals. It's a nice little victory award to look forward to.

8. Drink lots of tea.

Tea is delicious and good for you. It also makes you feel smart and fancy.

9. Watch a show during breaks!

If studying is hard for you, do it in intervals were you can reward yourself with a quick 20 minute show in between sessions. Make sure it's something you've already seen before so you're not blowing off all of your work to find out what happens next. Watch The Office!

10. Don't pull an all-nighter.

While it may be tempting to push work back and stay up all night to catch up, don't do it! You'll end up tired for your exam and therefore less focused. Get a full 8 hours of rest and arrive on time for that A!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
