How Stress Is Stressing Me Out
The Imaginative Conservative

It is not easy being a student, athlete, working a job, having a social life, and balancing all of these things at the same time. Being an active college student, there is so much we have to get done in a certain amount of time. Whether that is homework, a job, a project, grocery runs, errands, etc. Where do we get all the time to do this stuff and be able to eat, sleep, and rest? That is something some of the smartest and most organized people do not have the answer to.

Stress, we are told, is a normal thing. We should have a healthy amount of stress so we can learn and grow as adults and mature citizens of our world. But what is a healthy amount of stress? Because personally, I think all of us could agree that stress is in no way healthy. It leads to me wanting to pull my hair out or punch a wall, which is in no way healthy. Stress is hard and stress is something that we all struggle with.

Stress can be as simple as having a long to-do list, getting a bad grade on a test, or having an argument with a friend. Stress follows us everywhere no matter how much we want to avoid it, but I am here to tell you that stress can be handled and can be dealt with.

For some of us, we like to do things on our own. We like to take over the job and do it ourselves because no one can do the job better than ourselves. Well, Mr. or Mrs. I Can Do Everything On My Own, take a breather and realize that asking for help does not mean weakness. Asking for help shows bravery and proof that everyone needs help and even you can’t accomplish everything on your own.

Stress is a test. It is a life test that teaches us how to be better leaders, bosses, managers, CEO’s, owners, etc. Some of the most brilliant and successful people in the world went through enormous amounts of stress to get where they are and they made it through. Something to keep in mind is stress management. When you are feeling overwhelmed and like the world is crashing down, do things you love to bring you back down to earth. Go for a run, eat a candy bar, hug your girlfriend/boyfriend, go for a drive, etc. Stress is everywhere and never ending, so let's deal with it together.

Here I am complaining about stress and sympathizing with you because I too get stressed out and want to blow up, but that is why I am here writing this to you. We all feel better when we have people to relate to and I am someone that is hear telling you I’m with ya on this one. Like I said, stress is a b*tch and boy, do we love to complain about it, but be better than the stress and rise above it so we can succeed like the rest of the others that dealt with stress like us.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
