It's De-Stress Season

In This Article:

As school is in full swing, there is only one real thing on the mind: stress! So of course here it is— this year's version of my original de-stress article! Worry not, there are so many ways to relieve stress in State College!

From yoga to coloring, there will no doubt be something for you to do to get those stress levels down and enjoy life:

1. Yoga

Yoga works to bring inner peace and serenity while also getting a good workout! If you aren't into the campus classes, downtown has multiple yoga studios which offer different classes. Right now, Yoga Lab is even offering two weeks of free classes!

2. Writing

Writing your thoughts and feelings can help let out steam, even if it's just writing for 10 minutes. Just let all the extra thoughts go.

3. Working Out

Sweat out the stress and release endorphins! I prefer the classes at white building, as long as you get there early! 30 minutes of a work out can lead to a whole day stress free.

4. Coloring

You can literally get any kind of coloring book off the internet. Like curse words? They have it. Flowers? Have it. Animals? Have it. Nothing makes people feel relaxed quite like coloring.

5. Meditation

A couple minutes to chillax between classes and love life again right before that next exam hits you.

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.
