4 Simple Ways To De-Stress

It's that time in the semester again... when everything kicks into high gear and you feel like giving up.

Don't.

Instead:

1. Fix your sleeping schedule

Try getting into bed relatively around the same time each night and wake up early even on days when you don't have to, that way you won't waste days sleeping in to too late and you won't stay up trying to sleep on nights you need to go to bed early. I also recommend Melatonin sleep support gummies to help you start getting into bed early. They are less than $10 at Walmart and really work! Staying on sleeping schedule and getting enough sleep is an instant de-stresser.

2. Make your bed up

I'll be honest, I was hesitant to believe making up your bed after you wake up would actually help you feel calmer, but it is so nice to come home to a made up bed after a long day.

3. Take a bath

There's just nothing like a nice relaxing bath. Maybe try out a bath bomb, have a glass of wine and unwind.

4. Stretch before you go to sleep

According to an inspiyr article, stretching before bed and/or stretching each morning helps us learn how to physically let go of daily stress rather than hold on to it.

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

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

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.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
