When College Is Stressing You Out, Start These 6 Self-Care Practices

College is full of stress. Especially when the midterm season comes up, you have 5 projects to do, eight papers and all the math homework in the world. Take some time to unwind.

1. Treat yourself 

This doesn't have to be a full-blown spa day (the college budget limits us) but maybe treat yourself to a face mask and some ice cream.

2. Have a movie night

Whether you want to get a few friends together or have a solo movie night, find a good movie and make yourself some popcorn.

3. Make some art

Pick up some paint and a canvas and let your creativity flow. Doing art can be such a fun and relaxing thing when you've had a stressful week.

4. Spend quality time with friends 

It might be going out or just staying in and enjoying each others company. Having some good friends around can help you stop worrying about all the stress of college.

5. Read a book you've always wanted to read but never made the time

Nobody likes reading the textbook or assigned books, but finding one you enjoy can actually be relaxing.

6. Take a nap

This one is probably my favorite. Not getting enough sleep is a common theme at college, so taking naps is almost necessary. Take one and wake up (hopefully) feeling energized and ready to get all of that homework and studying done.

Try some of these things to become a little less stressed! Make sure you're taking care of yourself while you get through college.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
