1. Take a shower
When has a shower ever steered you wrong? Probably never! If showers aren't really you're thing, take a bubble bath instead. You'll start to feel all the drama surrounding your exams melt away.

Pop in your earbuds or put on your headphones and blast your fave songs. We believe music has the power to positively influence your outlook on any given situation, especially these eight songs.

4. Go outside
Soak up the sun or the rain by venturing outside of the four walls of your bedroom. Being surrounded by nature is a breath of fresh air, literally.
5. Exercise
Go on a walk or a run to clear your head. Maybe even lift some weights. If you even lift, bro.
6. Clean your room
As boring as this sounds, cleaning your room or your house is a great distraction from that nagging feeling you get about having to study literally every millisecond your eyes are open.
