Everyone has those days where nothing seems to go right. You fail the test you were sure you aced in Calculus. You forget to attend a mandatory club meeting because you were attending two other meetings. You spill tomato soup all down your white shirt before going to the class your crush is in. The catastrophic events just keep piling up.
Sometimes, these terrible days can turn into terrible weeks, and sometimes if you're REALLY unlucky, terrible months. Naturally, this means headaches, stress, and a certain mental breakdown. But, there are ways to handle being stressed the $%&# out without losing your mind.
1. Play a sport (Varsity or Club)
Beating the snot out of someone (legally of course) is a great way to relieve the pent-up anger and frustrations that naturally comes with college. The adrenaline gives a natural high, while the overall workout provides great stress relief emotionally and physically.
2. Do artwork!
Art can be therapeutic. Painting, sketching, or even coloring in a coloring book can provide stress relief! The project requires all of your focus, and provides a beautiful outcome! This naturally gives you some much need positivity.
3. Take some "me-time"
Relax, take a deep breath, and pull up the Netflix...or, whatever helps you unwind. Whether that means a book, your favorite TV show, or online shopping, give your brain a break from the stress. It's okay to be a hermit for a little while.
4. Listen to music!
5. Go out and PARTY!!
Obviously party safely and responsibly, but going out and having a good time with friends is a great way to find some stress relief. Dancing away problems might seem cliche, but it really is amazing what one night of great music and great people can do. So, with that said...PARTY ON.
