Relax and re-charge for finals week
Courtney Hash, Photography Editor
Finals are just around the corner, and it is often considered to be the most stressful time of the semester. Here are a few ways that you can de-stress and prepare your mind and body for finals week.
Try brewing a cup of coffee or tea. Hot drinks like these can be very relaxing and comforting, especially while studying for exams.
If you have access to an essential oil diffuser, try running it while you sleep or study. Oils like lavender and jasmine may help calm anxious nerves.
If the diffuser is not an option and you are in a location that allows it, try burning a candle.
Listen to your favorite songs. Singing and listening to music can be a great method of stress relief.
Often times, reading a book allows individuals to briefly escape reality and enter a new world of excitement. The next time you’re overwhelmed by homework, take a break and try reading a good book.
Fresh air is one of the best remedies for a stressed mind or body. Go on a walk or take a drive in the mountains with the windows rolled down.
There is something about a beautiful mountain view that is so calming. Hiking to a gorgeous view like this is a great way to relax and recharge before finals week. This particular view is at Sassafras Mountain which is not too far from North Greenville.
