11 Ways To Deal With Stress
SC200

If you're a student, you most likely know stress all too well. Sometimes you find ways to deal with it, and other times you let it get the best of you. If stress always seems to take advantage of you, here are a few ways to control it and conquer your work!

1. Stress ball

Stress causes aggravation -- what better way to relieve that anger than with something squishy!

2. A walk or a run

Getting some fresh air is healthy for you and will help you clear out all your pestering thoughts.

3. Motivation

Make sure to remind yourself to do work for yourself and no one else. No one knows what you're capable of except you!

4. Naps

Sleep is the best way to heal your mind and body, and it's 100 percent free!

5. Asking for help

People understand that sometimes things are too much to handle on your own; asking for someone to lend a hand could save you from your stress and help you understand what you're dealing with.

6. Meditation/Yoga

From ancient times, it is known that people who practice meditation are less prone to distress.

7. Working out

Besides the puppies in this demonstration, working out is a great stress reliever. Loosen up those muscles and get the blood flowing to your brain!

8. Eat a snack

The reason why you can't seem to focus could be because you're hungry! Your brain needs food too -- it's not just your stomach that needs to eat.

9. Listen to music

Music works wonders -- sometimes it's the only thing that helps us get through each day. If you're feeling brain-blocked, put on a pair of headphones and de-stress to your favorite tunes.

10. Make a schedule

Making the time to fit your work schedule and your relaxation schedule could save you from overloading yourself. Make sure you create a list of what you need to get done and when, and also add time for yourself!

11. Go easy on yourself

Don't be hard on yourself -- think positive and do the best you can!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
