Dead week and finals week can be a stressful time. There are many activities that you may feel like doing, such as pulling your hair out, pulling your roommate’s hair out, punching a hole in your wall or eating 6,000 calories a day. There are many ways to de-stress. Some are much better for you than others. These are some of the ways to de-stress on or near campus:
Therapy dogs
Go de-stress from finals by cuddling up with some good boys. There will be therapy dogs 6:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 3 in the Weber Reading Room. Go relieve stress without even trying. You are asked to not cry directly into the fur of the dogs.
Bison Leadership Awards
After you get done de-stressing with the pups, head on over to the Bison Leadership Awards at 7 p.m. May 3 in the Great Room of the Memorial Union where they will be presenting “Bison Service Challenge” awards.
‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’
“May the 4th be with you!” What better way to spend May 4 than watching “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” for free? Showings of the film starts at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union. Finals, I am your taker.
Science Night
If you miss high school science class (for some odd reason), this is the event for you. From 9:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. May 4 in the lower level of the Memorial Union, there will be fun science experiments to partake in along with plenty of food. Just make sure you know which is which. They do not want another incident this year.
Carnival Night
From 9:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. May 5, free pizza and other food will be provided on Carnival Night where you can play games and participate in other carnival related events. The best part of this event is that you get all the fun of a carnival without all the carnies catcalling your wallet.
Burning of the notes
This is not exactly an event, but I can almost guarantee that burning your notes will make you feel better and really seal off the academic year.
Check the North Dakota State activities calendar for more information about these events and others like them. Also, make sure to check local restaurants for student nights and happy hours.
