We all know finals are stressful and tensions were high, but now is the time to finally relax. Here are 5 ways to decompress after the mental Olympics that are finals week.

1. Sleep. All day.

Yes, there is a chance that you will wake up feeling lazy and hazy, but trust me, your body needs it. If you don't want to be that lazy, take a 30-minute nap. Naps are the super simple re-start button for life.

2. Get outdoors

Fresh air and a short walk are often therapeutic, giving your brain a kind of jump start it needs.

3. Exercise

This seems like a fairly obvious one, but its something that many of us gets "too busy" to do. Now that finals are over, take the time to walk for 30 minutes, hit the gym, or lift some weights. The way you feel walking out of the gym will amaze you.

4. Read

I like to throw myself onto a couch with a page-turner. something that will completely engross my thoughts. This kind of separation from the real world gives my brain the time it needs to de-stress.

5. Talk to a friend

Friends are our natural outlets to vent and repair. Talking to a friend will not only take your mind off of the stress that's been building up over finals week, it will also give you the time to catch up with someone you've probably been neglecting in lieu of your studies.
