Aren't we all stressed out every day? Especially when there's nearly a month or so left of school. This is prime time, baby. This is the real deal. Look how fast this year has already gone! OK, I'll stop before most of you start crying, because I sure as hell will be very soon. I try not to stress out or show that I am stressed because it isn't going to solve any of my problems. But at the same time, it's OK to feel this way... it's normal. Here are five things that stress me out and I hope you can relate as well!
1. Spiders
I hate, hate, hate them. I will not sleep until one is dead. I will not breathe. I just can't... They scare me and forever will.
2. Lack of money
I am not a rich girl and there are times during the week where I wish I was. Money is something that stresses us out, especially if we want to do things that are fun for us to runaway from stress.
3. Personal relationships
This can be between your significant others, sorority, fraternity, best friends or even parents. We love them all, but there's so much on our plate that the last thing we need to hear is our loved one complain or yell at us.
4. Negativity
I'm not claiming that I am the most positive person in the world, but cheese and rice... People have something negative to say about every little thing that honestly won't matter in the next five years. So breathe, smile and do the things you love. It'll help you move on.
5. Change
"Change is good," they say. Well, I believe it, but sometimes too much change can totally freak me out, especially when it comes to meeting new people. I'm always up for something new, but I need a little head's notice before we change my room or really... my entire life.
When it comes to stress, there's always away to avoid these things in a calm matter. Kill the spider right away! Don't make eye contact. Plan a budget for the week and shove the rest into your savings for the best fun stuff. Feel free to rant to your loved ones on how stress you are. That's what they're there for and it helps relieve some of the stress you're feeling. Ignore the negativity. It may be hard, but remember that you know yourself more than anyone else. Change can be good, so give it a try!
