Stress

Stressful Times

               I don’t know about anyone else but, for me, this is the most stressful time of the year. With project and essay due dates coming up, finals right around the corner, Christmas, and now the presidential elections. The stress is starting to build up and I’m trying to find ways to cope. One of the most effective ways is laughter. I like to laugh and make people laugh, so I’ll go over to a friend’s house or sometime play some Smash Bros in between classes with some friends. It’s a good stress reliever to be surrounded by friends and have a good time. I also relieve stress by playing some Xbox. However, I only play on the weekends so that I can focus on school. Playing games and chatting with friends online makes me laugh and makes me forget about the world for a while. Another way to relieve stress is exercise. I run once in a blue moon and that helps me get my mind off things. And even though I have not been out golfing in a while, I golf with friends or with my brother and it helps. Unless I play like shit, then I just get furious. But it usually helps with forgetting the worries at home and school.  Stress like most anything else in the universe does not last forever and will go away with time. Right now, I have to take one thing at a time and it will all be over soon.
