It's almost finals week, and of course that means "hell week." You may have thought it wouldn't be as bad since you're not a freshman anymore, but it turns out you're dead wrong. You're stressed out, and in order to get anything done, you need to calm down, but how?

1. Try to be Productive Anyway

Although after maybe a few minutes, you find that was pointless.

2. Take An Internet Break

Although looking up your non-extreme political view on Tumblr was most definitely a bad idea.

3. Eat Chocolate

It tastes good, there have been studies done that it helps reduce stress... Wait that was dark chocolate... Oh, well.

4. Sleep

If you manage to sleep, that is. However, you won't feel like getting out of bed.

5. ASMR

All that weird whispering and tapping is supposed to relax your brain, after all. Either that, or it'll put you to sleep, and you'll still be stressed the next day.

6. Watch Something Mind Numbing

Cat videos? One of those remakes on Netflix? Well, the logic here probably is that if your brain slows down, then you'll be less stressed?

7. Watch Something Stimulating

You can think, but it's about something else interesting. Maybe as long as you're thinking, but not about class, you'll be fine.

8. Go Outside

Fresh air could probably help you de-stress. It finally feels like spring outside. Oh, wait... There's also pollen outside.

9. Scream into a Pillow

There's plenty of throw pillows around, might as well make daytime use of them. And it's a classic.

10. Hope for the Best

Nothing seems to be working, not even that additional internet break away from Tumblr. You just have to muddle through it.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. 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!
