Everyone has times where they get so stressed that they just freak out, maybe even have a panic attack. I have always been the type of person to stress out easily, but here are some amazing tricks to try when you're stressed and don't know what else to do.

Breathe

I know it sounds stupid... but just taking a deep breath can help your brain calm down!

Go For A Walk

Taking a walk can help ease your mind and get it focused on other things.

Take A Hot, Relaxing Bath Or Shower

Hot water is known to help the body relax so take a long, long hot shower or bath to help!

Yoga

Yoga can help your entire body relax and helps you focus on just yoga, letting everything else leave your mind.

Have Some Pet Time

Animals are proven to help relieve stress and help people relax! Plus, who wouldn't want an excuse to have a dog/cat around?

Go Out With Friends

Friends can always help you through a rough situation. Just try to go out and have a fun time with the people who always have your back.

Get Some Orange Juice

Orange juice helps reduce anxiety! Who knew?!

Aromatherapy

The smells of aromatherapy can help with stress and anxiety too! Try them out!

Have Some YOU Time!

When you're stressed out, it usually means you have a lot going on, so take a breather and do something relaxing that you love!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you.
