6 Tips For Life's Stressful Moments
Central Park

I am currently headed into my senior year of college and I have found throughout the years of many all-nighters and stressing so much you cry, that simple changes can improve your perspective.

1. Yoga - As cliche as it is, yoga helps more than you would believe. You can do a quick five minute yoga session and it can completely calm you down. This will help to refresh on studying, your day or even brighten your mood. I highly recommend Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube if you're too nervous to go to an actual yoga class like me or are too pushed for time.

2. Reading - Many people have started to underrate reading and choose to open Netflix instead recently. Although I do love myself a good binge watch of The Office, reading helps to keep your brain active as well as escape for a bit. If you are on the go than simply begin an audio book and listen to it in the car! I highly recommend reading "Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Album. It will change your life, guaranteed.

3. Find a Hobby - If you do ever have some spare time or want to take a quick fifteen minute break, finding a hobby can help you feel happy and relaxed. After putting two and two together that I love to write and doodle, I took up calligraphy. I know for me, whenever I finish a craft or anything I have been working on using my hobby, it can also help me feel accomplished and productive at the end of the day.

4.Coffee - I may be slightly biased considering I have been a barista for two years but seriously coffee can transform your day. It boosts your energy, it tastes delicious and is helpful if you are in need of a new Instagram picture.

5.Bake - Try baking a new dessert! If you do not have much to do and might have a sweet tooth, try baking some brownies or cookies from scratch. Not only will your place smell amazing but you'll have some tasty treats to snack on later!

6. Call Your Parents, Friend, Whoever - Just call them. I'm sure they will allow you to vent, scream, laugh, whatever you need to do and you will instantly feel better. Sometimes all you need is your best friend, your grandma or your mom.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
