Tips to help you manage academic stress:
Spend quality time with people you enjoy
Make things: cook food, create art or crafts, write or play music
Listen to music or dance with friends or on your own
Help others (helping people in need and giving back to the community is proven to reduce stress)
Spend time outside: walking, cycling, swimming or even just sitting quietly
Be playful: do things that bring you joy or make you laugh
