Finals can break even the most emotionless of souls, forcing them onto their knees in a fit of tears and despair that could be considered the eighth wonder of the world, and it hasn't even started yet.
In recent years college students have reported record high stress levels, and it's only going to get worse.
Like I've said before, above all else your mental health is the most important thing to focus on during finals week. Below are 25 ways to help deal with the stress of finals.
1. Take a walk
2. Take a nap
3. Listen to some music
4. Dance like no one is watching
5. Go have a drink at a bar. But don't get wasted, that'll only make you feel worse.
6. Have a spa night with your friends
7. Take a nap.
8. Play your favorite video game
9. Do some volunteer work. The humane society is always looking for cat cuddlers.
10. Have a movie night with your friends or significant other
