Congratulations on almost being done with college, that’s such a big step in your life!!!! :D

Adulting is hard….really, really, really hard. I’m turning 22 too it’s not easy >_< I kind of freaked out on my parents earlier today about being an adult actually hahaaaaaaaaaa 

There are a few ways I deal with stress, I hope some of these help:

make a list of everything you have to do

this sounds like it will only make your stress worse but it doesn’t I swear

writing things down puts everything into perspective, you might not have as much to do as you think

you can also cross things off once you complete them and it’s so satisfying idk why

if you can, actually write your lists out (this always makes me feel better???)

divide up your tasks 

so, you have 12 things to do and four days to do them? Great do three things per day

less things to do per day = less stress

by the end of the four days you’ll have accomplished a lot

don’t procrastinate, please. It makes you so much more stressed out just tackle a little each day it’s a lot easier

talk to someone

you are seeing your problems through your stressed out brain, you can’t make sense of what’s going on like that

talking to someone can help you brainstorm solutions to problems you’re facing

they also help you calm down and encourage you

exercise

I KNOW NO ONE WANTS TO DO THIS BUT L I S T E N

just. go for a walk. it doesn’t have to be long, even just 10 minutes makes a difference

listen to music while you go for a walk, think about anything you want, take a deep breath of fresh air

this will calm you down. I promise. It clears your head.

And you get to listen to music so that’s awesome, everyone likes music

walk away from whatever is stressing you out and come back to it later

sometimes if you’ve been working on something for a long time you can’t focus anymore

take a break, think about it after you’ve had some time away from it and you’ll see the problem from a new angle

And the most important way to deal with stress is to remind yourself that you’ve gone through tough times before, and you’ve survived. 

You’re tougher than you think, stronger than you believe. 

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!
