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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
