STRESS- Emily Spivey

   Stress. Pretty much the only word in my vocabulary at this moment. Obviously that was a lie, but school has been stressing me out man. With the AP tests, and finals, and homework, and having a job, I don't know how I'm surviving at this point. 

    If you don't know me, I don't deal with stress very well. My days have been full of crying, eating a lot of Mac and cheese, and binge watching the walking dead. But hey, I've made it to the end! I would recommend these activities but they only help for about and hour and then you end up right where you started. The crying one might not be the best idea though. I usually feel worse after that one. 

   I guess when you take 5 AP classes your junior year, stress is inevitable. Me being me, I have never been very good at managing my time and this year was when I needed to do that the most. 

   The best tip I can give about relieving stress is to just sleep. Take a 30 minute nap or a 3 hour nap or even go ahead and go to bed. Sleeping usually relieves 90% of my stress. Even though I might not have done my assignment that night, I was relaxed afterwards and was able to complete it later. 

   Even though Taylor Swift isn't my favorite, she does give good advice. Just shake it off. Relax. It isn't the end of the world, and if it is, then you don't need to be stressing about your school work. You need to run. In the end stress can ruin you, so you just need to learn to relax and let life happen.
