Six Ways To Cope With End Of Semester Stress

In This Article:

The end of the semester can be very difficult. You have lots of things to do and little time to get it done. Here are some tips about dealing with the stress of it all.

Be Mindful

mindfulness

Focus on the present. Allow yourself to worry less about what has happened or inevitably will happen. Instead, focus on enjoying things more. Find things that you enjoy and take time for those things. Do not just sit at your desk all the time worrying about things.

Do some physical activity

yoga

This will help you blow off some steam and get into a relaxed state of mind. A good thing to do is go to some yoga classes. In yoga you are stretching out your knots and doing some deep breathing that will help you to relax.

Spend time with friends

With a big break coming up you can text friends from home and make plans. This will give you something to look forward to. Being with the people you love will also help reduce stress and take your mind off worrying about the future.

Be thoughtful of how you are going about your schedule

schedule

Schedule in homework time, study time, food time, relax time, and definitely time to sleep. Sleep seems to be one thing we forget to do at this time of year but we need this. You are more likely to remember something you studied if you have a full night's sleep in-between your studying and the test. Its basically more study time for your brain.

Remember life is bigger than school and grades

Taking care of yourself should be number one in your life. You can't do anything if you are getting sick and having mental breakdowns all the time. Don't stress yourself out. You probably know more than you give yourself credit for. It's not as bad as it seems - you got this!!

Make sure you don't procrastinate

Make sure you don't save everything for the last minute. We have all said I just don't have time to study all the material. Well you did, but you waited till the last minute and now you don't. It's important to schedule in time to study so you get through all the material and don't feel rushed or stressed.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
