oh yeah college days are very stressful, gotta wake up early, study everyday and by just looking at my professor adds up too much pressure especially on exam days. To get rid of those, me and my close friend would go for a food trip or bar hopping at the end of the day. Unwind sometime to release all those stress. And oh once a month, a nice whole body massage if I still have extra allowance

I've been stressed out for longer than I care to remember. I don't cope with it, I just accepted it as a part of my daily life... and as the time went by, I realized I'm working much better and faster when I have strict deadlines both at school and at work.

So during the exams week, I usually have a bunch of exams, as well as one, two, or more work projects due, probably other shit to take care of (there's always something).. but it passes; right before I'm about to start shitting blood, it's all gone and I feel better, and, what's even worse, I don't really feel any relief - I just feel blank.

Of course, there are always booze and drugs as a short-term relief.

I used to mediate on a floor pillow. Even slow breathing would calm me down. Stress can simply be avoided by having an optimistic attitude sometimes!

alcohol is the best medicine for stress.

i usually take a walk in the park nearby and call my friend there also.

Music and beers works for me.
