11 Gifts For The Always-Anxious College Girl, And Where To Find Them
Z Trading HB

Brought to you by your friendly 21-year-old college gal with anxiety.

1. Weighted Blanket:

$118 on Amazon.

I have a 12 lb. weighted blanket that I got as a present from my family and I can vouch that they are simply amazing. They are super comforting, like a fuzzy hug.

2. Fidget Cube:

$5 from Walmart.

Ever notice that your friend with anxiety is always bouncing their leg, tapping their pencil, drumming their fingers, twirling their hair, etc.? It is a way to get all of the pent up nervous energy out and, well, a fidget cube provides a lot of options for that.

3. Bath Bomb:

$9 from Lush.

Baths are a super relaxing way to start or end the day. This one pictured is called "Twilight" and it has a lavender essence which is an essential oil helpful for easing anxiety.

4. Reminder Bracelet:

$20 from Peas & Love.

Sometimes, all someone with anxiety needs is a little reminder, so having one with you at all times is a plus. Plus, it comes in rose gold, which is apparently super hip these days.

5. Coloring Book:

$11 from Hobby Lobby.

People with anxiety have their minds running in circles more often than not. A simple, non-thought-provoking activity is always appreciated.

6. Wallflower Plug and Scent:

$11 from Bath and Body Works.

Like I mentioned before, lavender is supposed to be quite helpful for the anxious soul. Luckily, Bath and Body Works have refills — if you want to try a new scent every month, you totally could.

7. Worry Monster:

$40 from Etsy.

One time, my therapist told me to write down what I am worried about, that way my anxiety would know I would not "forget" what I was worrying about and could maybe ease up on the circling thoughts. This adorable/scary little dude could be a solution for that.

8. Chill Pill:

$20 from Etsy.

I am going to be honest — I did not know these were a thing until researching for this article. However, now I really want one.

9. Salt Lamp:

$15 from Home Depot.

I remember my 4th-grade teacher had one of these in our classroom. I think it was beneficial for my 9-year-old-self.

10. Metallic Slime:

$10 from Etsy.

Remember when you were a kid and would play with silly putty or play-doh for hours? Yeah.

11. An Amazonite Diffuser Bracelet:

$28 from Vitality Extracts.

Amazonite on its own is helpful for stress and anxiety, but with a diffuser that can use essential oils? Damn.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

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.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
