Finals week is probably the worst week within a semester. It’s basically all the stress you endure each test wrapped into one giant test that could either be the savior or death of your grade. Why do they exist? Is it so your professor can see you stress one last time til they no longer can be the cause of it? Or is it because karma is coming to bite you for never fully studying til the last and final second before each exam? I mean… of course you don’t do that because you’re a college student and are definitely more responsible than that…haha yea. Well for the odd chance that you are like that here are some ways you can de-stress !
1. Watch a YouTube Video
Now this takes a lot of restraint to make sure you don’t go down the YouTube rabbit hole but this is definitely manageable. (Definitely recommend watching one of Shane Dawson’s old conspiracy videos because they really get your brain out of a slump)
2. Take a Nap
