After a stressful week of midterms, the best thing to do is to relax through these five top ways.


1. Grab a facemask and head for the couch

One of the best things to do is to find a face mask that either soothes, moisturizes, or helps get rid of the acne that flared up during exam week. Let it dry on your face for a good thirty minutes as you relax on the couch and watch some TV.

2. Get a massage

After spending two hours each on exams, sitting at a crammed classroom in a tiny desk probably has your shoulders, legs, and other muscles scrunched up and filled with tension. Get a massage to help your muscles release tension, and for you to feel better overall.


3. Exercise

The best thing to do after spending a week of sitting in uncomfortable positions while taking a test is to exercise. Get moving and work out a bit. It's healthy to fit at least thirty minute of exercise a day after a week of none.

4. Get out of the house

Go to the city or take a nice walk around the town or your neighborhood. Breathe in some fresh air and look around at the beautiful sights of nature that you missed out on while taking a bunch of exams last week.


5. Make sure to hang out with your friends

It's good to keep in touch with your friends. Go out to a restaurant, see a movie, go ice skating, or anything that lets you have a good time while communicating with your friends.


At the end of the day, its best to relax after a stress-filled week of midterms. Whether watching Netflix or exercising helps relieve you of stress, remember that this is all for you.

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.
