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

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
