9 Ways To De-stress During Finals Week

We all know how stressful finals week can be. It can honestly be one of the longest weeks for all of us. There are a handful of things you can try to take some of the stress off. Here are some ways to get your mind off of things for a little bit. Take a break and try some of these while you're cramming in your studying.

1. Go for a walk.


Taking a stroll in the middle of studying is a very nice way to clear your head for a bit. It's very relaxing.

2. Take a shower/bath.

Baths have always been a way to unwind and relax. If you don't have access to a bathtub, a hot shower is just as good when you're stressed.

3. Use a face mask.

There are super cheap face masks pretty much anywhere. They are not hard to find at all. Take advantage of them!

4. Take a nap.

I know that studying is important, but overload isn't a good idea either. Take a 30 minute nap and then continue.

5. Grab a coffee.

Maybe after the said nap, you could go for a little jumpstart. Go get a coffee to wake yourself up.

6. Finish a page of a coloring book.

Adult coloring books have become a huge thing lately. They are said to help out with stress, so why not give it a try.

7. Go get breakfast/lunch/dinner.

If you're losing focus while studying, you might need some food to reenergize yourself. Go get some food.

8. Listen to your favorite album.

Music is always a nice escape from whatever might be going on. Take a little break from studying and jam out for a bit.

9. Play a game.

Whether it be a video game or a board game, it's good enough to take away some stress for a while. Play a game for a bit in between studying.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
