5 Ways To Cope After Seeing Your Grades

Bad grades are more common than you think

5 Ways To Cope After Seeing Your Grades

Some college kids would cope by drinking/partying, but here are more enjoyable (and "harmless") ways to manage your stress.

1. Take a nap.


Nothing says "idgaf" more than napping. At least you won't remember how badly you've done on your exams in your sleep.

2. Eat ice cream. Lots and lots of ice cream.


It's proven that this dessert lights up the same pleasure center in the brain as winning money or listening to your favorite music.

3. Binge watch an entire season of Jane the Virgin.


Who's not dying to know what happens next in the upcoming season?

4. Pet animals.


Pet as in the verb. But also the noun, whichever works.

5. Keep up to date with Trump's news.


Just kidding. That can NOT be good for your mental health.

However you wind down after exams is up to you. Just don't get too worked up over grades! In reality, grades aren't that important, as long as you survive college and graduate, that's all that really matters.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
