Limitations

Today's blog post is from a quote I found while on pinterest. I believe the quote is pretty self explanatory and fitting for finals week. "If you think you can, you can" and isn't that something wonderful.

Shake it Off

"Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off" -Shake it off Taylor Swift

Finals week is quickly approaching us, projects due, presentations to give, exams to take, and papers to write. How can anyone possibly balance the stress of it all? As cliche as it sounds, just shake it off!

Blasting music

Blast your music

Let's be honest, everyone has a day where you simply can't put all the emotions you have into words. When this occurs the best solution is to just lock yourself away and blast the music the embodies the mess of emotions that you feel. Weather you just need something thats going to make you cry, or a just a pick me up, music provides the venting source that we often need. One of my favorite bands to jam out to when I'm in that situation is "Sleeping with Sirens". The band has both acoustic tracks and loud screaming tracks that cover a large range of emotions and makes it a little easier to cope with knowing someone else has felt the same. "When words fail, music speaks".

Social Media

Okay so I know in a previous blog post that the best way to unwind is to just turn your phone off right? Well sometimes that may be the best thing to do, there are other times where taking a moment of several hours to check up on social media to see what your friends are doing.

Netflix Binge

The best way to unwind after a long day of classes, studying, dealing with your roommates, and awkwardly passing the smelly guy in the hall way is to binge on Netflix. Netflix holds thousands of popular movies and television shows that make it easy to keep up with your favorite flicks. Being able to sit around in sweat pants and your hair in a bun and just unwind will allow your mind time to relax from the stress it's currently under. After a two or eight hours of binging, you'll feel rested and ready to get back to your daily duties.

Cramming.

Normally I come up with a little something that you can do to improve your overall day or a problem that you may be having. Today I'm going to talk about how important it is to not put off a huge project at the last minute. Today I spent approximately 5 hours in the computer lab trying to figure out how to make one logo in photoshop because I simply hate the program. Now it's 8 o'clock and I still have nothing done. The importance of this is that putting things off to the last minute results in being so flustered that trying to be positive and finding something to do to improve your day is impossible. Valuable lesson: DON'T WAIT FOR THE LAST MINUTE TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

Wait... Chores...WHAT

Although nobody really enjoys chores, well actually most people do anything they can to avoid them, completing your chores can actually help to unclutter your mind and ease stress!
My grandma once told me that if I were to clean my room that I "might feel better," naturally I completely disregarded her comment and thought that is was just a scam to get me to clean my room. However, when your mind sees you organizing and getting things done that you know you have been putting off, it naturally begins to reprocess information allowing you to think clearer!
