6 Ways To De-Stress During (And After) Finals Week

1. Treat yourself to a food you would not normally get yourself.

Sometimes, you need a treat. Whether it is a donut or a venti coffee, let yourself enjoy it because you've earned it!

2. Relax in a pretty part of campus.

It's okay to take some time out of the library. Take some time to enjoy the outdoors! Most campuses have greens with benches and trees for students to enjoy the scenery.

3. Get enough sleep!

Okay, I get it. Getting the recommended eight hours of sleep is nearly impossible for college students on a regular basis, but it's even more important during a week of high-stakes testing (and maybe performances).

4. Study with friends!

It can get lonely studying alone. Sometimes it is actually more helpful to study with friends taking the same courses. That way, you can discuss concepts and applications with each other. Studying with friends can be more fun and sometimes (but not always) more productive.

5. Get involved with finals week related events on campus.

Florida State has a "de-stress with dogs" day for students during finals week, and an RA is doing an event to provide stressed students with donuts. There are lots of planned events that can make your week a little brighter.

6. Celebrate when you're finished!

When finals are over, life gets so much better, so celebrate a finals-free holiday break!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
