College students feel overwhelmed in the last few weeks of classes before graduation. On top of most dealing with Senioritis (like yours truly), they have to punch out those last few crucial classes and on top of that worry about landing a job.

Here are some different ways to deal with high stress levels and try to reduce them:

1. Wake up 10 to 15 minutes earlier—it makes a big difference when you’re constantly running around in the morning

2. Don’t rely on remembering anything—jotting down what you have to do in appointment books will help organize your thoughts

3. Stop procrastinating—do everything ahead of time, this is a huge stressor

4. Plan ahead—life will hit you when you least expect, have a back up plan

5. Get enough sleep—you’ll be cranky and not yourself otherwise

6. Take long, deep breathes every now and then—it’ll even oxygenate your blood, help relax your muscles

7. Talk it out—sometimes you just need to vent to feel better

8. Forgive and understand—accept that life is unfair and we live in an imperfect world
