breathe. In addition, a healthy lifestyle is essential for students. Let‟s drink more water as well as
take out time to get some air and exercise. Furthermore, organization is very important in
academic life for dealing with stress. By keeping academic notes organized, turning in

Stress can also get worse if a person feels lonely. Therefore, by letting out all your thoughts to
someone you trust, you immediately feel a lot better. However, if you feel extremely stressed out,
take a break and do something you love. Whether it is painting or listening to music, doing
something you enjoy can cheer up your mood and distract you from a stressor. It‟s about time that
we students accept that we can achieve just as much in life without all the stress.
