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

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
