Allow yourself to take one break every day. Try to get off campus. Even if it means taking a walk, or going to that coffee shop you love that's just around the corner. Whenever you feel stressed or overwhelmed, physically distancing yourself can make you feel a whole lot better.

Make a list and get yourself organized. With 10 class assignments, back-to-back club meetings and commitments to friends, it may seem impossible to get it all done. Making lists and prioritizing what needs to be completed first can make any task seem less daunting. There’s nothing more satisfying than crossing everything off when you're finally finished.

Call your mom or your best friend. Whether you’re rushing to class or getting ready to go to bed, sometimes all you need is a voice of reason. Someone who will convince you that it’s going to be okay and to talk you through the times that it’s not.

Learn to lean on people. Sometimes the biggest mistake we make is trying to tackle everything on our own. Realize that the people who care about you will be there when you need them. These people will support you in ways that you couldn’t imagine--if you let them.

Laugh. Watch a funny YouTube video or a clip from your favorite show. Find something that is guaranteed to make you smile--it will go a long way.

Take care of yourself. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing we all forget to do. We lose sleep pulling all- nighters, whether studying or staying out too late. We survive on multiple cups of coffee and skip meals because of club meetings and inconvenient class times. Always remember that your health comes before the bustle and the business of your life. Learn to put yourself first.

Embrace everything, even if it doesn't go the way you planned. Be prepared to experience failure. You will be disappointed--but you will also encounter great success. Overcoming challenges and learning to accept failure are two of the greatest lessons you can possibly learn.

There will be a time, an achievement, a moment, a really good day, when it all becomes worth it. It may be earning an A on that paper you stayed up until 4 a.m. to finish, or landing the internship you desperately wanted. Maybe it will come in something simple, like looking around the room and realizing that you’ve found your best friends. These moments, no matter how big or small, will change everything.

Use professional resources when stress begins to overwhelm your daily life. While everyone in college experiences some stress, there can be certain situations where the stress becomes completely overwhelming. Stress in collegiate life is commonplace and campus counseling centers are specifically designed to help college students deal with the unique stressors and life challenges. In addition, there are several national hotlines that can provide immediate support if you would rather remain anonymous while seeking advice:

• Crisis Help Line (for any kind of crisis): (800) 233-4357

• National Youth Crisis Hotline: (800) 448-4663

• NDMDA Depression Hotline: (800) 826-3632

• National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: (800) 273-8255

• GLBT National Hotline (888) THE-GLNH(843-4564)

• GLBT National Youth Talkline (peer to peer, up to age 25): (800) 246-PRIDE(7743)

• National Domestic Violence Hotline: (800) 799−SAFE(7233)

• National Sexual Assault Hotline: (800) 656-HOPE(4673)

• National Sexual Assault Online Hotline (chat)

Above all, know that you are not alone. Every single college student has felt the way that you feel right now. We all, at one point or another, realize how human we are and how impossible it is to succeed in every area of our lives.

We all would love to get straight A’s, participate in extracurricular and clubs and have an awesome social life. Oh, and go the gym, watch Netflix and still have time for naps. But one thing on our list never seems to get checked off. This drives us insane--why can’t you keep up? Why can’t you stay as involved, in shape or stress-free as you were in high school?

The reality is, sometimes you cannot do it all. When one thing falls apart, we begin to learn what’s important. If you realize that grades are your number one, maybe you stay in some weekends to study. If your social life is your first priority, you might have to accept that B you earned in Economics last semester. We all adapt and adjust--in college you will learn more about yourself than most any other time in your life.
