Looking for ways to de-stress during finals and get ready for the holidays? Check out these 5 fun activities!

1. Baking

If you’re a baking connoisseur and baking’s therapeutic, hit up your kitchen and make some yummy food. Make some gingerbread houses or host a holiday cookie exchange with your friends. 

 

2. Sleeping

Take a break from studying and nap and make sure to get a good nights sleep. 

3. Call Mom

Mom knows everything. Make plans for some fun mother-daughter events over break. Ice-skating? Yes. Decorating cookies? Always. Binge watching Hallmark Christmas movies? Absolutely. 

 

4. Watch Your Favorite Christmas Movie

Take a chill pill and watch a movie to help you relax and then once you’re in a good mindset, go get productive and do what you gotta do. 

 

5. Shopping

Shopping’s my guilty pleasure, also known as a terrible habit for both your wallet and your time, but if you’ve spent hours upon hours studying these past few weeks, treat yo’ self. Go out and get some Christmas shopping done while you’re at it.
