Stress, we all have to deal with it sometimes. College students, especially, experience a lot of stress. We have to juggle classes, homework, jobs, internships and dealing with friends. It can all be pretty stressful. Stress can also be pretty harmful to the body, so you need to make sure to keep your stress in check.

1. Talk it out

Talking can sometimes be the best medicine you need. Talking gives you the opportunity to get everything that is stressing you out off of your chest. It could make things easier to handle by talking things through. Also, people sometimes give pretty good advice. Maybe they can help you figure out other methods of beating stress. Talking things also feels so great. It can feel like a giant weight is lifted off your shoulders when you talk about what is stressing you.

2. Walk it out

Walking can be a really great way to clear your head of some of the stress you are experiencing. No matter where you go, walking can help you take your mind off things that are stressing you out. So load up your Pokemon Go and take a walk around and see some of the great sights around you.

3. Take a Break

If you are working on a big project that is stressing you out, sometimes just talking a break can be what you need. It will give you a chance to center your thoughts and not feel as overwhelmed. Maybe grab a bite to eat, or take a long bath, just do something that helps you relax so that the stress does not consume you.

4. Sleep!!

Sleep is important! Sleep helps your body recharge and recover from the day. Stress can cause you to lose sleep, which can make your stress so much worse. Make sure you are getting your eight hours a night. Try and get to bed a little bit earlier when you are feeling stressed. It can do wonders and help you feel rejuvenated.

Stress can be tough to deal with. It can be pretty overwhelming and take so much out of you. Stress can drain you and even make you sick. Make sure that when you are feeling stressed that you take some time for yourself and try and beat the effects of stress before they beat you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
