5 Ways To Relieve Back To School Stress

If any of you are like me stressing about going back to school is inevitable. I've been trying hard this summer to not overthink it all so much, I'm going into my third year of college, I've done this all before. Yet with a new major and all new professors and subjects, stress is going to happen. However, I've learned this summer tips and tricks of keeping myself organized and prepared for this school year.

1. Make sure you have your schedule set early on in the summer.

Most schools make sure that you have your schedule for next semester set before your current one is even over. Some schools though do not, if you go to one of those schools take initiative and look up some classes yourself to try and get yourself prepared for the next semester.

2. Research easy ways to decorate your living space.

Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on your dorm or house decorations, look up some cute DIY ideas or even go bargain hunting! I found some of my cutest room decorations (its beach themed, btw) at a small little shop down actually down at the beach and found some adorable cheap items.

3. Don't go too fancy on supplies.

Buying school books sucks, we can all agree on that. When it comes to buying school supplies, were in college now we don't necessarily need the fancy 5 subject three ring binder with pencil pockets and a charger built in. Sounds cool? Yeah. Necessary? Nope. To relieve some of your financial stress just go for the simple college ruled notebooks and pocket folders. All of the top of the line fancy supplies are nice and cute but not needed all of the time.

4. If you have an agenda, use it!

If you don't have an agenda, get one! It helps keep your life planned out and ensures most things don't just pop up out of nowhere. I know in high school we all made fun of them and barely used them to write our homework in. In college, though, mostly every sorority, sport, and club has their whole semester planned out ahead of time. Put your school, personal, and work schedule all in your agenda to make sure nothing overlaps before you even get to school.

5. Enjoy what's left of summer

I know school is looming for all of us and it's coming whether we want it to or not so we shouldn't really stress about the things we can't help. So enjoy those last few weeks of summer and try to stay cool with your friends and family before you move back to school and classes start, they'll miss you when you're gone and you'll miss them just as much.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
