It's that time of year folks — stress is at an all time high. It's finals season: the time to figure out what you're getting people for Christmas, and I know that my fellow retail employees are under massive pressure in more ways than one.
Considering all of this, I wanted to share with you all the songs I play when life gets stressful.

"I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it" by The 1975

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Like_It_When_You_Sleep,_for_You_Are_So_Beautiful_yet_So_Unaware_of_It

Personally this entire album is my go to when I'm stressed out. However this song in particular, which is the same title of the album, is my #1 to de-stress.
Another few songs on this album I recommend for relaxing purposes:
-"She Lays Down"
-"Paris"
-"Please be Naked"

"Night Trouble" by Petit Biscuit 

https://soundcloud.com/petitbiscuit/night-trouble

This song has all the vibes of a quiet night drive.

"Snow" by Matt Wright

https://mattwright.bandcamp.com/album/adams-son

Matt Wright has been a camp musician at the christian summer camps I went to in high school. His music is truly underrated and I think this song is one of my favorites of his. Go check him out!

"Holocene" by Bon Iver

https://genius.com/Bon-iver-holocene-lyrics

Bon Iver's entire discography could be argued as what is good to listen to when you're stressed. His music style is typically slow and relaxing, but this is one song I usually like in particular

"O" by Coldplay

https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Stories-Coldplay/dp/B00IQE4NUK

Definitely another great night drivey vibe type of song. Really really soothing.

"Slow It Down" by The Lumineers

http://www.ryanhadlock.com/the-lumineers-self-titled/

I think this is self explanatory as relaxing since the title is "Slow it Down," something I need to be reminded of a lot when i feel extra pressure! Slowing down and taking each task one at a time is always what works best.

"Woman" by The 1975

https://idobi.com/review/the-1975-self-titled-album-review/

I fall asleep to this album almost every night, this was their debut album and has some great unwinding kind of songs.

"Chamber of Reflection" by Mac Demarco

https://highschool.latimes.com/east-los-angeles-renaissance-academy/mac-demarco-salad-days/

A super chill and mellow song, a lot of his songs mock this vibe.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

What I Do When I’m Sick in College

I wish I had my mom.

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
