So, lately, I have been hearing a lot of "I'm stressed" or "I'm tired." Trust me I understand. Between, classes, work, organizations, and those of you who have children I am sure that we all have our fair share of chaos and stress. So when people tell me that they are stressed my answer is to go relax!

But it seems that a lot of people simply just do not know how to do that! Many are worried about money and time. I have created a list of 11 things to help you relax. I am here to tell you what to buy and how to use it. And don't worry, everything is under $15 and you do not need a lot of time to this! Just sit back and relax.

1. Bubble bath

The first step to relaxation is going to a quiet and calm place. What's more relaxing than a warm bubble bath. You can even buy a pack of bath bombs for $1 at the Dollar Tree!

2. Exfoliating glove

Use this glove to help refresh your skin. You'll feel like a brand new person! But don't over exfoliate.

3. Body wash

Use body wash on your glove in order to get the best results. A good way to maintain moisture is to always lather up with bar soap and use body wash as well. Your skin will be super soft!

4. Deep conditioner

After you are done with your bath the next thing is a great deep conditioner. When you have clean and soft hair you feel like a great person. The Dollar Tree has two deep conditioners that I swear by! They are called " Simply Shea" and "Daily Defense" They have great slip for all my natural sistas! Go give them a try.

5. Plastic cap

The plastic cap is, of course, to cover your hair while you're conditioning. If you're anything like me you will just use a plastic grocery bag but these a great as well!

6. Coconut oil

Coconut Oil is the best thing ever! You can use it to cook, in your hair, and on your body. If you use it on your hair remember that it is not a sealant oil it is a moisturizing oil. But in the case of relaxing use this oil your body to keep your skin nice and soft after exfoliating.

7. Candle

A good smelling room can help you relax as well. At the Dollar Tree, they have many different scents all for a dollar of course! They even have candles with different layers with different scents!

8. Headband/shower cap

We are coming up on our face! So in order to keep your freshly conditioned hair out of your face pick up a fleece headband or a shower cap. The headband can also be used while doing makeup.

9. Face mask

Next is our face! Dollar Tree has many different face masks for many different things. Decide which kind you want or grab a few! And when you're done slap some coconut oil on your face to retain the moisture.

10. Gel eye mask

This mask is perfect to sleep in or even if you just want to get rid of some bags under your eyes. Pop it into the freezer for 10 minutes and then keep it on until it's no longer cold anymore. Your face is going to instantly be relaxed!

11. Snacks

Lastly are the snacks! The Dollar Tree has every candy, chip, and drink that you could ever want! So treat yourself and get those Mamba's you've been dying for! Or even some ice cream. Turn on your favorite movie or that show that's been sitting on you DVR for the last three weeks.

These 11 things in this order are how I relax once I start running out of steam! Write down list and stop by your nearest dollar tree after you leave work tomorrow! You won't regret it! Everything on this list can be found at the Dollar Tree. Stay strong and remember not to over work yourself. You need to relax every now and then. So I dare you to go out and try this! Let me know what you think!

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.
