Dorms don't really leave a lot of space for candle-lit baths, but a nice long shower with your favorite music blaring is a good way to relax your body and mind to ease into a stressful week.

Monday: Have a dance party

Friday is finally here! You made it through all the assignments, classes, and midterms, so now grab some friends, snacks, and blankets, and spread out on the Quad. Nothing says relaxation like good company, food, and nature.
