Keep Calm And Finals On

Being in college you can get stressed easily with balancing everything in your life, but finals week takes a whole other load of stress to deal with. There are a few ways to help relieve stress during this hectic week. This list consists of...

Remove yourself from the stress itself

Students themselves are going to be all over the place so that means ALONE TIME. It might be a bit boring but alone time is the best way to have complete peace TRUST ME. This can mean a good handy dandy bubble bath, a little walk by yourself outside to get some fresh air, or even just a run to Starbucks during your study break.

Do something fun

Although it is best to not always say yes when your friends ask to hang out this week, it is good to catch a break and do something fun. A few ideas can be going out to lunch with your gal pals, walking around the park, or watching some funny YouTube videos while you take a break in the study room.

Hitting the gym

Although it sounds dreading hitting up the gym during stressful times is actually very beneficial. After a good workout, you will feel amazing and think back "wow I really did THAT". It can also become a stress reliever if you end up doing kickboxing because you can go crazy.

SLEEP

I know you usually see everyone staying up 24/7 in the school's library but that can actually affect how you end up doing on the exam. Sleeping will help you and make sure you have a fresh head for when it is time to take the test. Of course, studying your butt off is a given when it comes to finals week, but SLEEP IS NECESSARY.

Hope these few tips were a bit helpful for your finals and best of luck to you!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
