Don't Let Finals Get You Down!

It’s that time of the semester again: the dreaded finals. Of course stress always seems to accompany finals. For many students, stress affects not only our exam performance, but also our health. It’s important that we, as students, find a way to use the stress to our advantage and manage it in a healthy manner. I could bore you with useful study tips, but I’d rather tell you about some fun ways to manage the stress.
The Reitz union has an event called De-Stress Study Fest which is occurring December 6th-12th. It gets kicked off with a Smash Bash that includes carnival games, walk a gator, a moon walk, a giant slide, and more. Restlessness to Relaxation is an event where you can enjoy free chair messages and playing with therapy animals. Go back to your childhood with Old School and Blast from the Past Holiday Crafts. De-Stress Study Space will be offered the entire duration of De-Stress Study Fest. The Study Space is additional group study space at the libraries. Also being offered nightly are De-Stress Movies from 7pm-12am. For more information and the schedule for all of finals week, you can follow this link: https://www.union.ufl.edu/Resources/DeStressStudyFest.
It’s important to have fun during finals week and not let the stress consume your life. Having a supportive group of friends and family to help you along the way helps too. Before you know it, winter break will be here along with some much needed relaxation!
