For the busy college girl, diving back into the reality of school, work, and other activities are sure to cause some extra stress in your life, which is why it's important to de-stress yourself on the daily. By actively taking part in these 11 things, you're sure to be putting your best foot forward, and feeling a whole lot better while doing so!
1. Draw yourself a bath.
Buy yourself a bath bomb and draw yourself a nice hot bath after a long day.
2. Bake something.
If you like to bake, this will be a breeze for you. If you don't, challenge yourself to try something new and create something yummy.

Painting your nails requires a sense of patience that is sure to calm you down.
