5 Low-Key Places In New Orleans To Let All Your Stress Go

There is no better feeling than walking into a restaurant or store and feeling a sense of relief. Being able to sit in an open area with friends or family and debrief about your hectic week, makes all the worries in the world disappear. If you are in desperate need of a place to let all your stress go, I highly suggest checking out these five spots, and trust me, you'll be aesthetically pleased.

1. French Truck Coffee

The bright yellow house with a royal blue door and white rocking chairs just screams come inside. You can enjoy a delicious coffee or tea with a pastry and sit inside under the lit and wooden interior or outside under the gazebo. The open windows on the side make the restaurant light and breezy. I would definitely recommend a warm cappuccino with almond milk and a blueberry muffin. Take a walk down Dryades Street, it's a hard place to miss.

2. Raw Republic

Upon entering, you would have no idea what the place can hold. There's a staircase in the back that connects you to a whole new world. The mix of the one blue wall, marble, wood, and greenery brings a calming essence to the acai bowl experience. The all white chairs and cushions brings you to peace and serenity.

3. Perch

People don't associate a furniture store s a place where you can find peace, but thats exactly what Perch furniture shop does. The space is made up of a few different rooms filled with random collectables. Normally, you wouldn't think in a million years to pair skulls with butterflies or rhinoceros with candles, but when all these different items come together, it creates an extremely calming atmosphere. You have to keep circling back around the store, just in case you don't miss something.

4. Drip Affogato

The all white and wood color scheme makes you feel refreshed. Just like the ice cream, this place is almost too perfect to touch. If you're not in the mood for ice cream, but still want something sweet, I highly recommend their ice coffee. Next time you are near Lee Circle, you have to go, because it is definitely not a spot you want to miss.

5. Gallery B Fos.

You may be tempted to walk past this when exploring Magazine Street, but you'll regret it. This art gallery features some of the most incredible artwork I have ever seen. The whole entire gallery is filled with colorful, abstract paintings. The contrast between the colors and the all white walls makes you want to sit and stare at her paintings for hours. The picture above is one of my favorite paintings, but even a painting can't describe how magical this place is.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
