Yup, It's Finals Season

Finals week. What a time to be alive. It's a time for mental breakdowns at least twice a day and perhaps a cry circle once a week. This past week especially has felt like a never ending anxiety trip. I don't know about you but that e-folio project kicked my butt. Grant it, procrastinating on the project did not help with the stress that it brought me, which is why I decided to revert to some stress less activities to help me out. One thing that helps with relieving stress is getting organized.  Prioritizing and organizing the different activities and projects in your life can help you feel more in control of what is happening. This also helps you to not procrastinate on projects therefore putting less stress on yourself to get the project done. Some other ways to relieve stress can include working out, listening to music, taking a nap, or hanging out with friends. Finals season is right around the corner so lets try to do it right this semester and think smarter not harder. Avoid things that you know will over stress you and if you can not avoid it, try some of these techniques to decrease your stress levels. Good luck out there!

    ughhhhhh finals season!!! The most stressful time of the year. During this time it is super important to stay relaxed and not work yourself up over all the exams and stress. Finding ways to relax like taking breaks from studying can help your performance. Also finding fun ways to study can make it less stressful. I hope everyone does good on their finals and knows what theyre doing!

    I like your self-awareness in this post. Realizing that you have procrastinated is the only way to prevent it in the future. As you mentioned, being organized is one of the best ways to prevent procrastination and stressing out. It also holds a sense on self accomplishment knowing that you are on top of things and completing assignments on time and ahead of time. My tips of advise for you for this upcoming finals weeks and the ones to follow are: Be organized, don't procrastinate, manage your time wisely, and don't stop your normal routine. The first three that I listed are self explanatory. But what I mean by the last one is to not give up something you would normally do just because it is finals. An easy example is if you go to the gym during the week, do not stop going just because it is finals week.

    Finals week is the most important week for any student. This is not the time to slack because it is the real deal. I like the way you explained your topic in great detail.

Stepping Outside Your Fitness Comfort Zone

Everyone knows the type of people who seem to show no fear, and who can find the adventure aspect in their every day life. Whether it be finding a way to climb anything and everything or becoming a low key stunt person, some people are naturally able to step outside of their comfort zone and participate in the more non traditional fitness activities.  So how do you know if you are the type of person who can step outside the comfort zone and try new fitness activities? Trick question, EVERYONE has the ability to try new activities even if it scares them. I am not one for crazy adventurous activities however, once I got out of my head and my comfort zone I found myself enjoying activities such as high ropes courses, BOGA Fit, and Zumba. No one can force you to try new activities unless you yourself are willing to put yourself out there and just have fun with new activities.

Turkey Time!!!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and if you are not ready to eat some delicious turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes and pumpkin pie, well then you are just lying to yourself.  During this wonderful holiday it is important to remember that just because there is endless amount of food in front of you, does not mean you need to eat it all. If you're like me, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and it can be hard to not over eat when at Thanksgiving dinner. Remember portion control when loading up your plate at the table. Try to have fruits and vegetables take up half of your plate and leave the other half for grains and proteins. It's all about will power this season! Stay strong!!!!
