As the end of the trimester approaches, stress has started to take over our lives, studying hours outnumber sleep and a good meal consists of coffee and ice cream.
To deal with the coming weeks, Your Man has compiled a list of stress relieving aides to help you get through the long stretch.
Take a study break
Take some time out for yourself. Whether it be watching TV, taking a nap or getting totally hammered, a break away from the books is a definite must. Sure, studying is important, but getting all boozed up on a Tuesday or Wednesday night couldn't hurt either. It'll take your mind away from memorizing definitions and dreaming of scantrons for a few hours, and you'll focus more on the challenging things in life - like what drink to order next.
Get enough rest
Everyone claims they don't sleep at all during the last few weeks of school, so why not take a nap or two when you can? The library has wonderful couches that probably double as great beds, so why not take full advantage of the facilities if you're stuck there studying anyway? The library aides will probably wake you up before they close, so no worries.
Take a shower
Everyone feels better after a nice, hot shower, right? Take some time out of your hectic day to bathe - not only for your personal health, but for everyone around you who has to deal with your nasty stench. To save time and help the environment, you might as well hit two birds with one stone and see if you can round up a friend to shower with. All for the sake of the environment, of course.
Get some lovin'
I won't clarify whether it's self-lovin' or a team effort, but some action will hopefully get your mind off the crazy schedule of classes and homework. It's convenient that the first three tips come in to play with this in some way. As fun as the lovin' could be, make sure you find someone on your study break who has taken a shower in the past week and who respects nap time.
Verbally assault someone
Nothing feels better than yelling. It's pointless to yell at the work that is pissing you off, so why not yell at something effective, like a teacher, or roommate? Bringing someone else to tears will make your tears seem petty, and will give your ego a boost.
Watch a movie
Movie nights can create a nice, relaxing environment with friends to help you get your mind off homework. Sure, there are plenty of great movies on cable from time to time, but to liven things up, check out 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Bone' or 'A League of Their Moan' to keep your guests entertained and relaxed.
