College students face a significant amount of stress due to various factors. (Read this article for more on causes of college stress.) Many aspects of college life, as well as the stress that comes with it, can all impact a student’s physical and emotional health. If you’re a college student facing stress, here are some ways you can maintain good health and keep your sanity. Many students find it challenging to go from having ample parental support and structure to creating their own structure and self-discipline.

In college, it’s important to stay organized.
Without parents around to be sure healthy food and adequate sleep are a priority, many college students skimp on both, and forget to take care of their bodies. Staying up late when early classes loom the next day, grabbing fast food on the way to a party, or living on junk food and energy drinks can seem like a given in college life, but can really sabotage you in the end.
