When you ask any college student if they're stressed, they will always answer 'Yes'. That's because each person feels and copes with stress differently. Some may just be really good at hiding the fact that they're stressed 24/7, like myself, while others seem to let stress overtake their whole lives. Although it can be scientifically argued that stress to a certain degree is good for us, most people, especially college students today, do not know how to handle and work through all the stress that may come. The next 5 activities are just a few of the things that can be proved to reduce stress when times seem to be getting a little hectic:

1. Watch A Movie

Sometimes it's nice to be a be able to sit down for a few hours and just become completely engrossed in a movie. A little distraction from reality is necessary when life gets busy.

2. Go for A Run

Sometimes what seems to help the most is just going for a run to clear your head. Keeping busy is an essential part of making sure you keep a healthy mind and body.

3. Hangout With Friends

If you live on campus you know how hard it can be to balance school work and time spent with friends. Time management can be a huge factor adding to stress and it's a skill many college students struggle to obtain. But I think that once that fine line is learned, spending time with friends and roommates can be a relaxing activity and can help some destress.

4. Pick Up A New Hobby

If you get stressed easily it's very important to make sure you spend your free time doing something you love.

5. Relax

Sometimes what we really need is to just sit in a room by ourselves and just chill. Laying down and watching Netflix is very relaxing. Go somewhere quiet and read a book even. I think the most important thing is to remember that every once in a while we just need to go and clear our heads, take a second or ourselves and relax.
