With finals season it’s easy to stay busy and freak out over all the assignments, projects, and exams you have due. I know my roommates and I have been stressed and nonstop grinding this week. Although it’s a busy time, I’d like to remind students to take care of themselves also. Here are a few quick and simple ways to take a breather during finals.
- Watch a TV show or movie
-
In between class and studying, I love to take a break while watching a show or movie. It’s a nice reward and takes my mind off school to focus on the drama unwinding in front of me!
- Go for a walk
-
I’m not the walking type, but I know a lot of people suggest going for a walk is a great way to clear your mind and spend some time outside with nature. It doesn’t have to be long, it can just be a walk to the store, to get some food or just to go around the block!
- Have some coffee/tea
-
Yes, caffeine helps a lot when you’re swamped with work and slightly panicking. Also, having some hot tea or a warm beverage, in general, is so comforting. Even though it’s not cold, I made myself some hot cocoa to drink while working. It was amazing. I recommend it.
- Take a nap
-
I usually don’t take naps because I feel like it’s time out of my day I could be doing something else. However, sometimes you REALLY need a nap especially if you pull all-nighters or have been working all day. So stop being stubborn like me and take that nap. You deserve it!
- Do some self-care
-
Take time to do a face mask, have a bath, paint your nails, or even do your makeup! Honestly, do what you enjoy. It’ll be a nice break while you step away from your laptop, desk, or work.
