Journal: stress during finals week is almost inevitable, but that stress doesn’t have to last too long. When you feel super overwhelmed, take a few minutes to write down everything roaming around in your brain.
Take breaks: breathe, relax. You may not think so, but studying can wait for a few minutes while you take a breather.
Take a shower or bubble bath: time to pull out those super cute bath bombs! What better way to relax than to take a nice bath or shower?
Friends: just because it’s finals week, doesn’t mean you have to lock yourself in your room 24/7. Make plans to hang out with a friend, even if it’s for a few minutes.
Treat yo’self: buy yourself some ice-cream, watch your favorite show, read a book or magazine, get a pedicure. Treat yourself for a job well-done.
