10 Ways To Destress During Finals Season
desklifebliss

We all know the feeling when you've got two weeks left of school, but you need two months for the amount of work you still have to do. It can feel overwhelming--and that's okay. It is perfectly normal to be overwhelmed by this. We need to stop denying the fact that yes--college can be a good time, but it is also really hard sometimes (especially during finals). Here are a few things you can do to de-stress during this upcoming finals season:

1. Find your playlist

My personal fav is called "Your Favorite Coffeehouse" on spotify

2. Download a meditation app

I really like one called "headspace"

3.  Go to the gym

It's proven to reduce anxiety

4. Clean your room on your study break

There's nothing more relaxing that coming home to a clean room

5. Remind yourself that it's only a test/paper

Ten years from now, you won't even remember it

6.  Go to Starbucks to study for a change of scenery

And treat yo self to a fancy Christmas drink

7. Take a hot shower

And use this time to focus on nothing

8. Remind yourself that this will all be worth it one day

Because hard work always pays off

9. Plan something to look forward to for when finals are over

It's easier to work hard when you're working toward something specific

10.  Take a deep breath

Because it's going to be okay

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
