This past week has been extremely stressful for many. Whether it’s the election results, friend drama, midterm results, or a combination of those that has gotten you down, take a few days for yourself. I know that it’s hard for students to just “take a day off” from the overflowing amount of to do’s, but you don’t want this to spiral out of control come finals week.
I basically watched shows on Netflix till 5am every night and woke up at around 3pm this whole weekend. While it was a good distraction, maybe it wasn’t the best for my already sporadic sleep schedule. Alternatively, you can read a book for leisure, but couldn’t because you already had an infinite number of other books you had to read for classes. You can go outside to get a breath of fresh air and to soak up some Vitamin D! I managed to stay in my room for more than the majority of my weekend. I don’t recommend that. Call up a friend that you’ve been meaning to have a chat with. Remember that there are always people that care about you, but the most important step is to place yourself first.
