Blog Post 25- Gloria Pulley

Oh my, there are so many different ways that I deal with stress, some good and some bad:

1.      I run. I run a lot.  Running releases happy chemicals that make you feel good and fuzzy inside.  It also makes me sleepy and really hungry but that’s ok because like running… though the sleepiness isn’t that good when you have butt ton of homework and you need sleep still and this is why I’m crazy. 

2.      Coffee.  Like seriously I don’t know how I would have survived this year if I didn’t have my coffee because most days it’s actually what calms me down.  A normal Gloria is better than a squirrely Gloria.  But yeah, it’s best use it when it’s two in the morning and you have a paper due that day that you haven’t started on and everything comes together in a panic induced, caffeine infused, masterpiece.

3.      I cry.  There are tear stains on my papers because I lose it sometimes (I will actually stress myself into a migraine).  Everyone cries, so why deny it. 

4.      Yoga. Which is actually quite hard I found out.  Like mad props to all you ladies out there who are great at yoga because I mostly just fall a lot.  But at least I’m calm while falling. 

5.      Music.  Lots of music.  Y’all already know I’m always listening to music and that’s because I’m always stressed. HA

6.      I watch Netflix or PBS or listen to podcasts because I’d rather learn about something interesting than stress about stupid things. 

7.      I don’t check my infinite campus all that often.  Why? Because usually when I get all worked up over a test or something, I’ll check it and see that the grade isn’t in and I’ll stress even more.  So don’t do that kiddos.

8.      I procrastinate on a certain homework assignment by working on other homework assignments.  It’s bad.

9.      Lastly, I sleep.  This is why I have a messed up sleep schedule.
