10 Ways To Indulge In Self Care During Finals

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!

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.
