10 Ways You Try (And Fail) To De-Stress During Finals, As Told By SpongeBob
Nickelodeon

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.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
