When Crunch Time can become Crunch Time.

All college students have dealt with it. All college students hate it. All great college students overcome it. It's called stress. A college student deals with this the most, when the have a lot of work due in a short amount of time. The best way to relieve this stress is by making a planned schedule to get all the work done. It's all about timing and how you use your time wisely.
Make sure you are not overcrowding yourself with work and DO NOT PUT IT OFF TIL THE END. Then you will be too busy drinking coffee and using stimulants to stay awake. Not worth it to me and should not be worth it to you. Here is a list of easy to-dos that will help you relieve stress.

1. Taking a Walk
- Just get out of the house and enjoy the fresh air. Look at the scenery and waste a couple of minutes to get the blood flowing.

2. Working Out.
- This will really get the blood flowing and helps the brain relax. If you want to get into a euphoric state, take a long run. The endorphins in the brain will actually increase. If you need to take some upsetting feeling out, life some weights. This helps by "pushing" out negative energy.

3. Listen to music.
- This helps because it puts you in a better mood and can also help with creativity. Listen to "easy going" music that will put you in a restful state.

4. Laughing.
- Watch a funny movie, listen to a funny comedian or listen to funny stories from friends. To make this more "online" friendly here are some videos that make me laugh:







5. "Being Relieved or Relieving Yourself"
-Yeah it's what I meant...No one can argue that a great way to feel less stressed is to cough* cough* cough**. You understand what I mean.

Good Luck with Crunch Time everybody.
