Finals week is probably the most stressful week of any college student’s life. Long nights, endless studying, and enough coffee to cause a caffeine overdose! Although this week from hell has already begun, try these 5 easy activities to release some stress and keep yourself on top of your game!
1. Do some yoga
Yoga is a great way to keep calm and relaxed. No yoga mat or experience needed! Throw a towel down on the floor and look up a good YouTube video! A great video for beginners is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ6NfFIr2jw.
2. Try coloring
Everyone remembers last year when adult coloring books were all the rage. But the thing is, they really do help! Sitting down for just an hour to color can really make all the difference! And let’s be honest, we all love to do it.
3. Netflix
Need I say more?
4. Have a spa day
A great—and cheap—way to do this is simple. Head over to your local drug store, grab a face mask, some bubble bath, and some tea lights. Set it all up with your favorite music and a book, and you’ve got yourself your own personal spa.
5. Watch Christmas movies!
My favorite way to celebrate Christmas is by turning on a cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie and getting my favorite comfort food. Make sure you get in your coziest pjs and cuddle up under some blankets!
Don’t worry, collegiettes, the semester is almost over! Finish strong and, most importantly, take care of yourself now to prevent post-finals burnout.
