Finally, it has come.
The dreaded week of sleepless nights and tear- filled results has arrived, and it's terrifying. This week, instead pouring over study material (because who doesn't love four hours of math?) I decided to compile a list of things you could be doing instead of stressing over finals.
Here are, Nine Things You Could Be Doing Instead of Stressing Over Finals:
1. Thinking About The Holidays
What better way to get your mind off of the inevitability of failure than holiday cheer? Forget the fact that you have a bordering 70, and instead sing Christmas carols or light those Menorah candles.
2. Spend Some Quality Time With Your Friends
Chances are you haven't had human contact in a while, and you're definitely not the only one. Take a much needed study break and visit the people on the other side.
3. Remind Your Pet of Who You Are
Put down the textbook and pick up old Sparky, make sure he hasn't forgotten who you are. Try playing some fetch with him, and eventually he'll stop thinking you're an intruder.
4. Catch Up On Your Shows
Whether you're watching 'Glee' reruns, or the new season of 'How to get away with murder' take this time for a little solo Netflix and chill. Watching the problems of other characters will definitely make you feel better about your own impeding doom. Just remember, even if you fail Chemistry, at least you haven't murdered a man.
5. Read A Book
We all know about that "new" novel gathering dust on your bookshelf. Transport yourself back to the time when you first bought it; the excitement and the thrill of opening up a new world. Stop telling yourself you have no time, and start now. What else are you going do? Study?
6. Have A One On One With Nature
Shock your mom by actually stepping outside. Remember what the sun feels like on your face, and regain your natural glow. Take a walk and stare at trees, anything is better than re-reading the same paragraph five times.
7. Binge Eat
Stuff your mouth with cake and popcorn, anything to stifle the sobs as you get back your final report. Try new recipes and spices, bring a little flavor to your pity party.
8. Go To The Spa
Take some time to relax and treat yo' self to a lovely spa day. Forget the impeding due dates and spread that mud mask onto your face.
9. Get Some Sleep
Sleep is the best cure. Staying up all night studying will only add to your stress, instead try getting some well-deserved shut eye. If anything at least you get 8-hours of pure darkness, before you wake up and stress all over again.
