STRESSED!

NikkiPSU

So in the past 2 weeks (since school started) I've been getting a little overwhelmed and stressed out!  I'm trying to finish up my last semester, starting to study for the Bar Exam, looking for a job and on top of that all planning a wedding! 

Everytime I get overwhelmed with studying I just procrastinate and start looking on the forums and googling things for the wedding.

Does anyone have any productive ways to deal with this stress?

Working out is a good way to relieve stress. I color when I'm stressed, I know its kind of childish but it takes my mind off of things for awhile. Sometimes you might just need to take a break from all of that and do something entirely unrelated to all of that for just a little bit.

I'm in the same boat, but I'm studying to take the GRE and apply to graduate school.  But I would suggest that you do something fun to de-stress.  And then find the time to study when you're the most alert.

I hope that helps! And GL

I'm no help here, my destresser is coming on here and looking at things. Its not too productive when I should be doing other things, but it makes me happy for the time being

Ditto, blynng. The internet is where I always end up. Sometimes here, sometimes other sites.

Haha! I so do that too!!! That, or I play farmville... I'm like an addict. I think anything like that would help relax you a little (my dad calls it "mind numbing" activities).

working out!!!  but if i don't feel like DRIVING to the gym. I'll google a youtube workout video (a good cardio blasting working like kickboxing), and it helps me release some stress.

That's funny, i came on here to post almost the same thing. I'm getting my master's in nursing. We people ask,"is the wedding stressing you out yet?" I say, "no, it's the most relaxing thing right now. I guess, we have to buckel down, and concetrate on school first, then wedding when we have free time. Good luck!

hahaha me too when school gets overwhelming I switch to wedding planning, but having the wedding as a distraction could be why I am having such a hard time focusing on school!
