Here's How This Is Gonna Go

 One of the things that I want to address is the fact that I am not the only college student to endure the stress of distance learning or of a double major. The things that college students are enduring at this time are unifying if anything. What I hope to accomplish with this blog is to create a guide for various kinds of stressed-out students that each have different needs in terms of de-stressing. I don't want this to be a "one-kind-fits-all" idea, which is precisely why I plan to try a new method each week and essentially report back how it worked and how it did not work. I will begin with explaining the type of stress school/work/quarantine is dealing me, then explain the type of strategy I will use for that week. 

To begin, let me describe some of the methods I will try. 

Conventional Methods of De-Stressing:

• Meditation 
• Exercise
• Chew gum
• Reduce caffeine intake

Unconventional Methods of De-Stressing

• Play games
• Calming colors and scents
• Blue light reduction
• Coloring books

This list is subject to change, and I will admit I have tried some of these during the quarantine. I am willing to take suggestions as well for other forms of de-stressing to try and report back on. I hope this tentative list makes sense and will allow you to see where my mind is as I make this endevor.
