So finals week is over and you might be trying to find ways to unwind after being stressed for a week straight. Here's a list of the top ten ways to unwind after completing your finals. I own none of this gifs. This list is in no particular order. I hope it brings you some joy and laughter.

1. Listen to music.

This is my go to after I stress. Music always makes me feel better.

2. Call or talk to your mom.

My mom is like one of my best friends. Typically after going through a stressful situation I give her a call. She always is there to listen and give me sage advice.

3. Hang with friends.

Friends always seem to bring out the best in me. My friends always know how to make me smile. :)

4. Watch a tv show or movie.

This gif is literally me. All I can talk about is tv shows. Just ask anyone that knows me. I'm always binge watching something.

5. Sleep!


Seriously do this. Many people sadly lose sleep because of stress and finals. It's not good and healthy to lose sleep. Sleep! Your body will thank you!

6. Organize for next semester.

I am a nerd to my core. I tend to get ready early or miserably fail to, but I always like to try and get a head start on planning.

7. Do something creative.

Read, write, paint, etc. Possibly wait to do the writing. Your hand still might be hurting from finals.

8. Eat!


Eating always is a good thing. I always feel better after eating.

9. Take a walk outside. Get some fresh air.


Your body will thank you again for being active. You'll be able to think about something else if you just walk and listen to the outside world.

10. Breathe!

You've made it through finals. You're still alive! Congrats!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
