This year, the exam gods have blessed me with one final exam (don't hate me, please) albeit on almost the last day of finals.\r\n\r\nAfter what I like to refer to as \u201cThe Week That Tested My Commitment To My Entire Undergraduate Degree,\u201d I came out on the other side feeling pretty good! I completed a high quality of work, while letting out my stress in healthy ways. Since some of my other commitments have been winding down as well, I have something that I haven\u2019t experienced in a while: Free time.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n

Google searches I never thought I'd need to make.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nI wanted to relax, but I realized that I DON\u2019T KNOW HOW. Unfortunately the Wiki-How article Google directed me to did not help either. Now don\u2019t get me wrong, all the work I\u2019ve committed to this year hasn\u2019t been a chore at all. I have fun and I\u2019m always learning, but it\u2019s not relaxing. <\/em>So I took this rare opportunity as a challenge and decided to find some activities to relax with:\r\n\r\nFriend time \u2013<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 Trying to have friend time when you\u2019re the only one who isn\u2019t frantically studying for exams is a tricky task. I coped by offering moral support when needed, and slyly using \u201cstudy dates\u201d as a guise to socialize with my friends *evil laughter*\r\n\r\n

Taking a selfie with a lap top in it counts as studying right?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSpring cleaning \u2013<\/strong> <\/span>Before you scoff, HEAR ME OUT. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the transformation from messy to clean in my room or on my desk.\u00a0 Maybe I\u2019m also a little strange because I like to clean things to relieve stress, but that\u2019s just me.\r\n\r\nFood. Always food<\/span> -\u00a0<\/strong>I finally got a chance to get back on the foodie trail and return to some\u00a0of my favourite restaurants. Happy tears all around.\r\n\r\n

So the number one thing I did to relax was catch up on some well-deserved sleep.\r\n\r\nWhat are your suggestions on how to chill U of T?
