15 Things You Can Do To Chill The F*** Out

Guys, relax, seriously.

15 Things You Can Do To Chill The F*** Out
Ian Cleary

Last week was hellish, let's be honest. Our country's morals are disintegrating, our president is covered in Dorito dust, the racists are emerging from the cracks in the sidewalk, and there's just a**holes all around. But I digress. No matter which team to you play for, last week was stressful and it showed. Facebook fights raged on. Protesters flooded the streets (vive la résistance!). It was a relentless onslaught of drama. And frankly, I'm tired of it.

Now, that doesn't mean you should stop resisting! I'm right there with you, guys but, I'm not trying to lose all my hair from stress either. Life's about balance, everything in moderation. You have to regulate your levels of anarchy with relaxation.

So here's some things you can do.

1. Take a nap

Self-explanatory.

2. Dance around to "Les Misérables" or "Hairspray"

Let the angst fuel you.

3. Read a book

I recommend something by Kurt Vonnegut.

4. Go outside

I know, I know, it's scary out there, but fresh air is good for you.

5. Create some art

Every successful artist is pissed off about something.

6. Watch a movie

"V for Vendetta", "The Patriot", "Schindler's List"...

7. Drink some tea

The plant water is good for you, trust me.

8. Pet a dog

Always a good idea

9. Play a video game

Get some of that rage out, kiddos.

10. Write

It helps, trust me.

11. Exercise

You have to get in shape for those long marches.

12. Take another nap

One is never enough.

13. Star-gaze

We are all tiny and insignificant. Find some comfort in that.

14. Eat some pancakes

Always makes me feel better.

15. Realize that it's only four years

Seriously though, it's going to be okay.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
