Finals are upon us and that means spending countless hours at the library bent over books until you want to rip your hair out. Although all these hours of studying are necessary, it's never healthy to just sit and stare at one thing for hours and hours, so here's a few ideas for any of your much-needed brain breaks.

Binge-watch the Gilmore Girls revival.

If you haven't done it already, then this is an incredibly valid and more than acceptable brain break. Shoutouts to Amy Sherman-Palladino for bringing the Gilmores back to us just when we needed them.

Eat ice cream.

Although it can't guarantee you an A, it can guarantee you a smile.

Get coffee.

Finals week and coffee are two things that should never be without the other.

Cry.

A stress cry is almost inevitable while studying for finals, so you might as well use it as a nice break from those books. Also goes well with the aforementioned ice cream.

Color.

Adult coloring books have been all the rage recently, and they really do reduce stress like they claim. Coloring in these books can bring you back to a happy, childlike place in your mind and calm you down after hours of intense thinking.

Call your mom.

It's a sure-fire way to occupy at least 20 minutes, and you know she'll appreciate it.

Take a walk.

College campuses have quads for a reason. Even though it's probably cold outside, a little fresh air can only do you good.

Get more coffee.

Bonus points if your walk leads you to the coffee.

Take a Buzzfeed quiz.

I know I'm not the only one who's ever wondered what Friends character I am, what Taylor Swift song should be the theme song to my life, or some other random thing that seems so very vital to know at the moment.

Scroll through social media.

Hopefully you've banned yourself from doing so while you're actually studying, so why not take a minute to scroll through Instagram pictures of other people enjoying their lives while you're in your tenth consecutive hour at the library.

Happy studying everybody!
