How to Beat Stress
When that time hits in the school year where it feels like all of your deadlines are here at once, stressing yourself out is the worst thing you can do. Here are some tips to help you manage your stress level when this time of year hits you.
1. Take some time for yourself.
It may feel as if you don’t have time to do anything but study, however, taking personal time to do whatever you like is a must. Whether it is playing a sport, shopping, or reading, doing something that makes you happy will help you focus and will drop your stress level.

3. Eat healthy.
By eating three good meals including fruit and vegetables each day, you’ll feel better, and you’ll be able to focus much better than you would if you were eating unhealthy food.

6. Meditating or Doing Yoga
It doesn’t work for everyone but meditating or doing yoga at least once a week can help you relax and be ready to handle it when stress is thrown your way.
