Finals week can be very stressful and overwhelming. You can't let the stress take over though, you have to do something about it! Takes little breaks, or try one of these ten things to relieve your finals week stress!

1. Attend a Zumba class

Zumba

I know when I am stressed, I love to dance it out. Zumba classes are super fun and a great workout, too!

2. Paint

Painting is one of the most relaxing things ever. Some people even use painting as a form of therapy. It's a fun and easy way to get your mind off of things and relax.

3. Have lunch with your friends

Just sitting down, eating good food, and having a conversation with your friends is the best. Nothing beats a conversation full of laughter while you're chowing down.

4. Try out a yoga class

Yoga is a wonderful way to clear your mind and get a workout in, too.

5. Go for a run

A run can make you feel 100% better if you've got a lot of stress built up. It can make you feel like a weight has been lifted off of your shoulders.

6. Take a long shower

Long, warm showers are good for the mind, body, and soul. You feel like a brand new person afterward. It's an awesome way to forget about your responsibilities for a little while.

7. If the weather is beautiful, study outside

Nothing beats a beautiful day outside. Fresh air and beautiful scenery can help with stress. Even if you're stressing, being outside makes it just a wee bit better.

8. Listen to music

Music is one of the best-known performance enhancers. Whether you're just taking a break and listening to music or you're listening to it while you study, music can make a huge difference in the way you feel.

9. Go to the pet store and play with animals

Because what's better than petting and playing with animals?

10. Take a nap

Sometimes school gets the best of you and the best thing to do is take a cat nap.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
