College life is full of stressful moments from studying for test to recovering from a bad hangover after a night out. I ask female students how they deal with stressful moments in college. They offer healthy tips that readers can use in their daily lives.

I’m a junior in college right and I’m really feeling the weight from my classes. My teachers expect the best from me and I have homework due almost everyday. Life can be pretty overwhelming. Luckily I workout a lot. I feel like it’s a great way to lessen my stress and calm my nerves. At the end of each day I visit my campus’s recreation center and join their fitness classes. Yoga, pilates, and power flow are great workout routines to strength my body. Each session has several breaks focused on breathing so my body can relax. I advise anyone wanting a healthy and fit way to lessen stress to go to their gym every day!

I love school but I’ll admit that it can be pretty stressful. I ease my stress by eating healthy meals and snacks. I’m one of those people that eat when I’m bored or stressed out. In fear that I’ll gain a lot of weight I decided to concentrate on eating healthy snacks instead of junk food. Everyday I chop apples, mangoes, and oranges into a fruit cup. I than add almonds or cashews. Or I make my own trail mix with almonds, honey roasted nuts and cashews. I add chocolate chips or M&Ms to sweeten it up. What we eat effects how our bodies feel and putting healthy things in it will make it perform much better.
