College life can be stressful. You have work, school, friends, studying, Sorority/Fraternity life, volunteering, applying for grown-up things like jobs and internships. Out of all these things that take up our lives, something is bound to go wrong. You might have a disagreement with your friend. You might fail a test. You could apply for an internship and not get it. But the best thing about all of these scenarios is that it is not the end of the world. You will work it out with your friend. You will make a better test grade next time. And you will apply for many more internships. It is very important not to get discouraged.
Remember that one little thing will not change your whole life. You will be fine. That argument you had with your friend will only bring you two closer. A bad test grade will not make your final grade. You can still graduate and get that diploma. If you do not get that amazing internship you have been dying for, you will get an even better one in the future. Although some things do not always work out how you want them to, it could be better in the long run.
Remember to relax. Loosen up and do not take everything so seriously. If something happens that you were not anticipating, take it in stride. Know that what was supposed to happen may not have, but something good will come out of it. When everything gets hectic, sometimes it is nice to just have a little getaway for a day. Go do something active to get your mind off of whatever it is, or go do something relaxing to rest your brain.
If you are religious, stay close with God. He will get you out of any bind possible. Reading your Bible or listening to worship songs is a great way to get that close feeling to Him on days you cannot go to church. Remember to pray, because He hears all of them. Sometimes a little one-on-one time with God is exactly what you need to simply vent, get that weight off of your shoulders, and then move on.
