24 Ways To De-Stress During A Challenging Semester

Spring break is over and the end-of-semester push is happening. It's getting busy and you're getting stressed! At least once per day, you need to de-stress from your crazy schedule.  Here's some of my recommendations to clear your mind:


1. Go to the gym.  Even if it's just for 30 minutes, it will be good for your mind and health.
2. Go for a run.  Get some fresh air and go for a run around your neighborhood or around campus. Take your dog, too!
3. Take a yoga or pilates class.  Super relaxing!
4. Indulge in some shopping, online shopping, or window shopping if need be.  Any form of shopping is time well spent.
5. Catch up on your TV faves.  The Bachelor and the Real Housewives are fan favorites.
6. Spend some time on Netflix.  Watch whatever your heart desires!
7. Play with your dog.  Your puppy loves you. Show him or her some love.
8. Bake some cookies or sweets.  They'll last a few days, it's worth it.
9. Take a bubble bath.  Get some scented bubble bath to make it exciting.
10. Go get fro-yo!  Doesn't matter what the weather is like, it's always good.
11. Read the latest issue of Cosmo.  There's so much you need to know.
12. Do some spring cleaning.  You will feel super organized and clean afterwards.
13. Watch a new makeup tutorial.  Use the tips on yourself to feel more confident tomorrow.
14. Get your nails done. You will do more with perfect nails.
15. Get a massage.   Get rid of your knots. Being too tense is no good!
16. Reorganize your room or dorm.  This is super fun and worthwhile.
17. Spend time with your friends.  Have a girls night out and catch up on the latest gossip in your inner circle.
18. Do some basic exercises and stretches.  You will feel much better. You need to stretch after sitting at a desk for several hours.
19. Organize your closet.  This will remind you just how FAB your wardrobe is.
20. Play a game on your tablet.  Your mind is distracted and stress-free when you are focused on winning.
21. Dance it out!  Go to a club or just dance in your room.
22. Have some wine.  Need I say more?
23. Go nuts on Pinterest.  Plan your fantasy life. Have a blast!
24. Watch a funny movie and laugh!  Seriously, laughing is so good for your health.

Keep calm and de-stress!
