Midterms. One of the most stressful weeks for most high school students. Four days of jam packed test and studying. But do not fear, here is a list to make midterms week slightly less miserable.

1. Be prepared. You should study, but don’t overwork yourself.
2. Make a dope playlist to listen to. Check out our journalism jams on Spotify!
3. Take a nap. They are a great way to de-stress and just calm down.
4. Go out to lunch. Take your mind off studying for a bit and just hang out.
5. Do yoga. Reflect on the good times when you weren’t so stressed about exams.
6. Take a bath. They are soothing and a great way to unwind after a big study session.
7. Do a face mask with friends, have a good laugh to focus on something else for a while.
8. Find a cute kitten or puppy and cuddle, that’s the best way to relax after a long day.
9. Go on a walk, ease your mind and look at the pretty outdoors.
10. And when all else fails, have a good cry.
