It is that time of year when the semester starts to get the best of you. You are so stressed out, and you feel like you don’t even have the time to be stressed. Here are the 13 easiest ways to relieve that second semester stress.

1. Exercise. Even if just for a few minutes a day, it is extremely important to get your body moving. 

2. Deep breathing. As simple as it sounds, it is the most immediate way to release all that you have bodied up inside you. 

3. Listen to music.

4. Get a massage.

5. Take a nap. Do not sleep the day away and then get even more stressed. Take a quick power nap so you are ready to kill that to do list. 

6. Spend time with your pet. How can you be stressed when you look at that little puppy face?

7. Take a walk

8. Do an art project. Doodling counts.

9. Write about it. There is nothing wrong with keeping a journal. Instead of talking to a therapist, you can save the money and talk to yourself. Let out all your feelings. No one has to know. 

10. Take a bath.

11. Drink tea.

12. Eat healthy. When you're extremely stressed, it is very common to crave every sugary thing in sight. But eating a balanced diet will help you feel better in no time. 

13. Make lists.
