Life can get stressful really fast. Here are a couple things you can do to be a little less stressed.

Breathe

Giphy

Sometimes just forgetting everything else that's going on around you and taking deep breathes in can be relaxing

Treats

Giphy

Have little snacks lined up for when you need it. A chocolate every once in a while won't hurt you.

Do Yoga

Giphy

Let me tell you right now yoga is a great way to exercise as well as de-stress. Doing yoga whenever life seems too hard to handle won't take away your problems but it'll help put things into perspective.

Chew Gum

Giphy

Chewing gum can give you something else to focus on for a bit and also help you concentrate.

Get off your phone

Giphy

Our phone can be our biggest enemy sometimes. Phones apparently increase stress levels so getting off your phone every once in a while can really help.

Watch comedy

Giphy

Sometimes taking a break and watching something funny can ease your mind. I usually watch comedy shows when I'm really stressed out.

Run

Giphy

Running is not only great exercise it's a great way to release your frustration and stress.

Paint

Giphy

Painting is a great stress reliever. You can paint something for someone or just for fun. Either way it's not only fun but also eases your mind

Petting animals

Giphy

Animals are not only great companions but amazing stress relievers. When I'm really stressed out I usually cuddle with my dog and I feel 20 times better.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
