Finals week can be an extremely stressful week for students. Taking breaks from loooooongggg dates with Howie T., however, may help make designated study time more productive and efficient. Here are some fun ways to relax, de-stress, and enjoy yourself in the midst of the craziness of finals.

1. Check out a chef cooking demonstration, December 8th-23rd.

Stress eating is a very real thing. So why not take out your finals stress by watching famous chefs create delicious food? Tune in to WWL-TV to catch these televised demonstrations each morning between 8 and 9 am- the perfect pre-library treat! Get the schedule here.

2. Take a holiday tour of New Orleans Homes, December 10th and 11th.

Pricey at $40 for advance tickets, but if you're just as eager as I am to see some elaborate Christmas decorations in gorgeous New Orleans homes, it's totally worth it. It's great study motivation, too, because these homes are going to inspire you to want to do big things with your life. Get more ticket information here.

3. Go to the Pelicans vs. Golden State Warriors, December 13th.

After a long day of studying, why not catch a basketball game? Get your tickets to this 7 pm game here.

4. Nola Christmasfest, December 16-30th.

Bring out your inner child with activities like ice skating, carnival rides, a carousel, and even Santa himself! Get in on the festivities here.

5. Running of the Santas, December 17th.

This festival and pub crawl may not be the most effective study break, but it sure does sound fun. Get tickets to dress up like Santa and get a little silly here.

See, there is more to finals week than just endless library time. Happy studying, and good luck!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
