15 Ways To Cope With Stressful Days

Stress. Sometimes it just gets the best of you. School, work, and even daily life can become far too busy and seem like they will never calm down. Peaceful forms of stress reduction don't always work for everyone. If you're someone who can't stand to do yoga or meditation, stick with me. When you're down and out and don't know what to do, try these 15 methods of stress reduction.

1. Eat a gallon of ice cream

2. Order greasy take-out

3. Run (to the fridge)

4. Scream into your pillow

5. Listen to head-bangin' music

6. Go outside and find as many dogs as possible

7. Punch things (soft things - getting hurt just adds to the stress)

8. Feverishly dance to old hip-hop music

9. Go to a psychic (maybe stress isn't in your future?)

10. Make whale noises while lying on the ground

11. Rap your feelings out

12. Watch sappy romance movies to let those tears out

13. Beat your chest like Tarzan (because when doesn't that help?!)

14. See how long you can hold your breath for (relieves the tension?) - Please continue to breath though

15. Nap until it's bed time

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
