If you are like me, you find it pretty easy to just let your stress overtake your life. Whether you have a math test you have not studied for, or an event you're stressed about, here are some things that just might help you out.

1. Make a list

When you have all of your to-do tasks written down right in front of you, it makes it a whole lot easier to realize what you need to get done

2. Create a calendar or schedule

Whether it be a weekly planner or a calendar, it always makes it easier when you can have your days planned out in front of you, dates and times are always a good thing to be aware of.

3. Take everything one step at a time

I understand that life often gets overwhelming, and you want to get as much done at once. But slow down, take a step back and do everything one thing at a time. The more you multitask, the more there is a margin for error.

4. Don't forget to breathe

Stress is stress and it gets overwhelming. But don't forget to take a break and just let yourself breathe. Everything will work out the way it is supposed to.

5. Talk to someone if you need to

I found it really helpful to talk to someone if I felt like my stress levels were getting to be too much. It helped a lot to get it all of my chest, so it is worth a shot to try talking to someone

I wrote this while I was really stressed about a statistics exam!! Enjoy and I hope it is helpful!!

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.
