1. Try a face mask

Face masks are always something that makes me feel better when I'm stressed and they give your skin a nice glow! When you look good, you feel better - it's science.

2. Make time for friends and family

It's important, especially during the busy school year, to remember to spend time with your friends and family. Taking a break from your work and socializing with people you care about can do a lot to relieve stress during a busy time when it's easy to get caught up in just doing work.

3. Organize your time

Using a planner to organize what you have to do that week is an easy way to make your life less stressful. I used to never write anything down and always worried about forgetting something I had due in one of my classes. When I started making a list of what I had to get done, it kept me on track and I procrastinated less. Also, I got a sense of accomplishment from checking off the things I'd gotten done.

4. Buy new clothes before the school year begins

Creating a new look for a new school year is always fun to do, and you can use your new clothes to express the person you want to be.

5. Listen to music

Just relaxing and listening to my favorite songs helps me to relax when I'm stressed out. It's important to remember that the most simple things really do work!

6. Make more time for yourself 

Finally, remember to make time for just yourself. Whether it's taking a bubble bath, reading a good book, or finally binging that Netflix show you swore you'd start, just make sure to treat yo' self.
