There are endless ways you can relieve stress. Here are just 10 ways you can try. Find what works best for you!

1. Get some fresh air and some sun.

Vitamin-D is one of your best friends when it comes to de-stress tactics! Feeling the warm sun on your face and taking in the fresh air is going to boost your endorphins.

2. Listen to your favorite music.

Sing away your worries and bolt out those favorite songs of yours! No one's around to judge, sing as loud as you want and let the stress go.

3. Go to the gym.

Working out is scientifically proven to make you feel better by lowering your stress hormones AND releasing endorphins. It It's a win-win situation! You will look good, and feel good! Hit the gym or take a run around your neighborhood, whatever works for you. Get your blood pumping!

4. Take a hot shower or bath.

The steam from the hot shower or bath is going to help clear the air and make you feel more at ease. It will relax you and wash your worries away.

5. Journal.

Writing down what is going on in life is also a common stress reliever. It takes everything out of your mind and makes it easier to handle by having it somewhere else other than just your mind. Free your emotions and let them flow onto the paper, you will feel a weight lifted off your shoulder.

6. Practice mindfulness.

Mindfulness is the best way to get into the present moment. It slows down your breathing and gives you a moment to just settle down and focus on what is going on under why you are worked up. It helps stabilize your body and if you don't know how to practice it, I highly suggest you look it up because it is truly a lifesaver.

7. Play with your pets

There is no explanation needed for how much better you will feel after playing with your pets. Just do it.

8. Take a power nap.

Let your body regroup and recharge by taking a quick power nap. You will wake up refreshed and ready to conquer the rest of the day.

9. Eat a light snack.

Fuel your body with a small snack. There are many healthy snack options to combat your hunger, and if you are a stress eater, letting yourself have a healthy snack will make you more energized and stress-less.

10. Doodle or draw.

Drawing or random doodling can relieve stress by just letting your mind wander off into the paper. You can press down hard and get some stress out, or just doodle lightly to calm your mind and slow your breathing.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
