13 Songs To Destress During Fall Semester

In This Article:

It's college, and we all get stressed, so you've gotta find ways to stay sane! My best tip is to listen to music. Here are 13 songs that always help me stress less.

1. "Catch in the Dark" by Passenger

It's a sad song but also gets you exactly where you want to be hit in the feels. The vibe of this song will just get you incredibly mellow.

2. "Secret Notes and Curfews" by Flannel Graph 

The song slightly speeds up towards the end, but it'll have you swooning over the singer's voice the whole time. You'll also get to reminisce on that childhood crush.

3. "i can't breathe" by Bea Miller

This song will probably sum up all the emotions you're feeling with the stresses of classes, but in a calming and comforting way.

4. "Please Notice" by Christian Akridge

The beginning of this song starts slow and quiet, but over time it grows into a powerful ballad. It's a great song for when you almost feel like you just need to scream.

5. "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" by John Mayer

The steel guitar in the background is really what calms me. It reminds me of easier times and family events.

6. "The Hug Song" by Colleen Ballinger and Erik Stocklin

Just the fact that the lyrics to this song were written by a 3-year-old makes it such a sweet song. But overall, with the lyrics and the sweetness of the ukulele, it's just such a heartwarming song.

7. "Thank You" by Bombadil

There's an overall mellow vibe to the song, but my favorite part is the lyrics. I could get lost in the lyrics for hours. There's such a powerful message behind this song.

8. "Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson

Listen to the first 15 seconds of this song and you'll understand why it's a stress-reducing song. Nuff said.

9. "Someday" by Sam Burchfield

This song will have you thinking about your future love and your dream life. Great way to escape from reality.

10. "Wind & Anchor" by The National Parks

You've just gotta love incredibly talented male-female duets. And that's exactly what this is! You'll feel like taking a trip into a peaceful forest afterward.

11. "Good Lover" by Donovan Woods

This guy looks intense, but his voice is so raspy and peacefully quiet. I could probably fall asleep listening to him.

12. "Lemonade" by Jeremy Passion

The ukulele version of this song cannot be beat in the love song category. You'll swoon for hours.

13. "By the Ocean" by Kid Indigo

After this song, you'll be incredibly tempted to take a trip to the beach. As tempting as it is, now that you've gotten through all the songs, it's time to get back to studying!

To listen to these stress-less songs and more, listen to this playlist.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
