College can get very overwhelming at times. Trying to balance clubs, class, homework, fitness and a social life is so hard. It often feels as if there is just not enough hours in the day to do everything you need to do. That being said, it isn't uncommon for a college student to get really stressed out. Stress is not good for you and can lead to various health problems down the line. Here are some healthy ways you can relieve stress.

1. Work out or go for a run.

A good long run/workout is a great way to get your blood flowing and clear your mind. Not only will it make you feel better mentally but you will also feel better about the way you look.

2. Read a book.

It can help to escape from reality for a bit by diving into a good book. You could kind of do the same thing with Netflix but reading just has way more intellectual benefits.

3. Take a nap.

In college, sometimes we don't prioritize sleep enough so taking a nap may be just what you need to stop being so stressed.

4. Meditate or practice yoga.

Meditation and yoga have so many amazing health benefits and will make you feel so much better.

5. Talk to a parent or friend.

Loved ones are always great resources to reach out to help you through whatever difficult time you may be having.

6. Go home or away for a bit.

There is no better feeling than sleeping in your own bed and away from all of your stress.

7. Have some fun.

Sometimes you just need a fun night with some friends or to go out dancing to relieve some stress.
