10 ways to survive final's week

Image
Hey guys, welcome back! Finals week is in 2 weeks, which means it's time to get your sh!t together and study, study, study. Because we all know how difficult finals week is, I decided that I should put together the 10 top ways to deal and survive final's week.  1. Plan ahead  The sad thing about final's week is the fact that literally, everything is due within that one week. All of your last assignments, projects, exams, and presentations are due in that week. So if you don't plan and work ahead, you're literally going to kill yourself and I don't mean to over exaggerate, but that's just the harsh truth. You need to prioritize and plan your schedule, so your not killing yourself trying to submit everything at once. 2. Find a study place  If you want to study efficiently and be focused on your work then you need to find a place that helps you achieve that. I know for me personally, if I'm studying in my room, it'll take me forever t

10 ways to get help if you’re struggling with mental illness

I always post fun stuff. Nothing too serious but this week, I want to get serious. As a freshman in high school, I experienced a school shooting. I was in the room. Then, I was in an unhealthy relationship for a few years following. I came in to college never acknowledging that I was struggling with any mental illness. At all. I didn’t even understand people who would say that they were struggling with anxiety - I just couldn’t grasp the concept. Fast forward to my sophomore year of college. I was going to volunteer to walk dogs at my local humane society. I debated even leaving the house. The thought of going was unbearable and I cried for 10 whole minuted prior to forcing myself to go inside. I ended up realizing that constant worry, over planning, difficulty focusing, on edge feelings, etc were all ways that a generalized social anxiety disorder manifested itself into my life. Anxiety and other mental illnesses show themselves differently in different people, and dealing with it a

Hey guys, welcome back! Finals are almost upon us (cries), cue the long nights of crying and study sessions, the thousands of presentations, deadlines, and exams. Before you're drowning in just about everything college-wise, I wanted to share with you a few ways that you can relax and unwind before sh!t hits the fan. 1. Take a much needed nap Personally, for me, napping has a powerful way of making me relax. And to be honest, when you nap, all those assignments and stress magically disappear, even if it's just for a few hours. So make sure to nap where ever you can, honestly, it doesn't matter where you nap as long as you do it.  2. Reading for pleasure  I know reading is often associated with assignments and school in general, but trust me, if you pick up a book that interests you, it won't feel like another assignment. Besides reading has a way of taking your mind off of things, they temporarily help you forget about all your stress. 3. Exercise  I know
