Finals are coming up and that's a stressful time for most college students. But, being stressed out just clouds our brains and makes doing well on that important exam even tougher. Try these tips to de-stress this year!

1. Organize your life. Get your calendar app out, your planner, or whiteboard, and write down what it is that needs to get done each day. Making a study schedule helps you accomplish each task without totally overwhelming yourself.

2. Go to that free yoga class offered at your school. Seriously, yoga and meditation helps lower stress levels and get you more in touch with yourself. It's a nice break from your busy life and gets the endorphins flowing.

3. If yoga's not your thing, maybe head to the gym and just sweat it out. Endorphins are a magical thing, people!

4. As the wise Tom Haverford once said, "TREAT YO SELF." Eat your favorite ice cream, get your nails done, take a nap, whatever it is, just make some time to do something that will make you happy.

5. Find some furry friends! It's proven that just petting a dog can lower stress levels, so snuggle up with some pets before that big exam.

6. Get enough sleep. Staying up until the wee hours of the morning to cram study is just going to drain you even more and chances are you won't retain most of what you crammed. Sleep is important, sleep is your pal.

7. Clean your room, or at least your desk, before you even try to study there. Cluttered desk, cluttered mind.

8. Get ahead of the game and study a little bit each night, not all at once. Hard advice to follow, but makes a big difference when you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go on the day of the exam.

9. Take a break every once in a while! When you feel like your brain is turning into mush, get up and walk around the library, get a drink of water, scroll through Twitter, whatever it is, and then get back to business.

10. Remind yourself that your grades do not define your worth. Put your mental health and overall well-being first and do your best. You got this!
