Finals season is about to begin, and I’m sure everyone is already completely stressed out! This is the final stretch before the semester is over and we’re off for winter break. It’s difficult to stay positive when all you can think about is the amount of work you have to do! However, there are some ways to help yourself de-stress before it all begins. Check out these five tips for relieving your stress before finals:
- Come out to a GW basketball game! This is a great way to show some school spirit, and best of all, tickets are free with your GWorld. This Saturday, December 3rd, the game is GW vs. USF at 2:00 pm. Even better, adorable kids from Lemonade Day DC are going to be selling cups of lemonade by the doors!
