It's that time of year folks — stress is at an all time high. It's finals season: the time to figure out what you're getting people for Christmas, and I know that my fellow retail employees are under massive pressure in more ways than one.
Considering all of this, I wanted to share with you all the songs I play when life gets stressful.

"I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it" by The 1975

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Like_It_When_You_Sleep,_for_You_Are_So_Beautiful_yet_So_Unaware_of_It

Personally this entire album is my go to when I'm stressed out. However this song in particular, which is the same title of the album, is my #1 to de-stress.
Another few songs on this album I recommend for relaxing purposes:
-"She Lays Down"
-"Paris"
-"Please be Naked"

"Night Trouble" by Petit Biscuit 

https://soundcloud.com/petitbiscuit/night-trouble

This song has all the vibes of a quiet night drive.

"Snow" by Matt Wright

https://mattwright.bandcamp.com/album/adams-son

Matt Wright has been a camp musician at the christian summer camps I went to in high school. His music is truly underrated and I think this song is one of my favorites of his. Go check him out!

"Holocene" by Bon Iver

https://genius.com/Bon-iver-holocene-lyrics

Bon Iver's entire discography could be argued as what is good to listen to when you're stressed. His music style is typically slow and relaxing, but this is one song I usually like in particular

"O" by Coldplay

https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Stories-Coldplay/dp/B00IQE4NUK

Definitely another great night drivey vibe type of song. Really really soothing.

"Slow It Down" by The Lumineers

http://www.ryanhadlock.com/the-lumineers-self-titled/

I think this is self explanatory as relaxing since the title is "Slow it Down," something I need to be reminded of a lot when i feel extra pressure! Slowing down and taking each task one at a time is always what works best.

"Woman" by The 1975

https://idobi.com/review/the-1975-self-titled-album-review/

I fall asleep to this album almost every night, this was their debut album and has some great unwinding kind of songs.

"Chamber of Reflection" by Mac Demarco

https://highschool.latimes.com/east-los-angeles-renaissance-academy/mac-demarco-salad-days/

A super chill and mellow song, a lot of his songs mock this vibe.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
