If you are like me, you find it pretty easy to just let your stress overtake your life. Whether you have a math test you have not studied for, or an event you're stressed about, here are some things that just might help you out.

1. Make a list

When you have all of your to-do tasks written down right in front of you, it makes it a whole lot easier to realize what you need to get done

2. Create a calendar or schedule

Whether it be a weekly planner or a calendar, it always makes it easier when you can have your days planned out in front of you, dates and times are always a good thing to be aware of.

3. Take everything one step at a time

I understand that life often gets overwhelming, and you want to get as much done at once. But slow down, take a step back and do everything one thing at a time. The more you multitask, the more there is a margin for error.

4. Don't forget to breathe

Stress is stress and it gets overwhelming. But don't forget to take a break and just let yourself breathe. Everything will work out the way it is supposed to.

5. Talk to someone if you need to

I found it really helpful to talk to someone if I felt like my stress levels were getting to be too much. It helped a lot to get it all of my chest, so it is worth a shot to try talking to someone

I wrote this while I was really stressed about a statistics exam!! Enjoy and I hope it is helpful!!

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
