Sometimes you just have weeks that make you go crazy they're so stressful. I asked around among some fellow students what their favorite ways to relieve their stress is. So here they are, I hope one of these helps you relieve the stress in your life.

1. Hot bubble bath

Dr. Teal's Soothe & Sleep Foaming bath is the best.

2. Working out/going for a fun

Stressed? Run Forrest run.

3. Cooking 

Stress baking in the BEST.

4. Cleaning 

This sounds crazy, but omg it is such a good stress reliever.

5. Organizing 

Organization is the key to life.

6. Nap

Nap all your worries away.

7. Watch Netflix/Hulu 

Turn on a show like Friends or the Office and laugh your head off.

8. Going outside and enjoying nature 

Sometimes being one with nature makes everything go away.

9. Listening to music 

"Don't Worry About a Thing" -Bob Marley you're welcome

John 14:27 is one of my favorite. Find a go to verse that reminds you that everything will be okay.

11. Shopping 

Nothing in this world compares to retail therapy

Ice cream is the best. Try Blue Bell Vanilla Ice cream with magic shell on it and thank me later.

Writing down what's going on is the best thing I've ever done. I can write every emotions and not worry about watching what I say.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
