We’re students too, so we know that finals can be rough. Tired? Overstressed? Have only eaten Ben and Jerry’s for a week straight? We’ve been there. Sometimes, you just need a study break — which is why we put together this handy dandy guide for taking care of yourself during finals week!

Scroll down for our events we’ve hand picked for your study breakin’ pleasure. Or check out our full calendar here.

And if you need to procrastinate on that essay juuuust a little bit longer, visit some of our blogs for some of the best advice for surviving finals around. Trust us, we’re (not really) pros.

Good luck, Cats! Keep your heads up, the end is near!

Take a (Study) Break
