Although sometimes stress seems hard to manage in college, there are many ways to cope with it. Here are some of the best, easiest ways to give yourself a break when the chaos of college hits you.

Although working out is never anyones top choice of activity, it does have its perks. It allows both your mind and body to feel refreshed.

2. Take a chill day and lay in bed with a movie on the TV

Snuggling up under multiple blankets can never do any harm. Give yourself a break from social scenes and take a day to yourself. Get cozy in your bed and watch your favorite movie.

3. Read a book that makes your mind wander away from life a little

With the act of reading comes an association to school. Although many times reading is mandatory for class, it can also be a great relaxation activity. Pick up a book that makes your mind wander away from real life.

4. Eat healthy

There is no better feeling than after you have consumed healthy foods. Sure, indulge on your favorite candy once in a while, but eating healthy makes both your mind and body happy.

5. Invest in a diffuser

A diffuser? Yes, a diffuser. Invest in a diffuser that you simply fill with water and oils. Coming home from class every day with the smell of lavender from the diffuser will make you more relaxed than anything else.
