It is now officially final exam time at colleges across the United States. Students are finishing up their final projects, spending hours studying inside their campus libraries and dealing with rising stress levels.

Many college students today face a greater stress-induced environment than their predecessors. According to a nationwide research study of the 2014 freshmen class, over 150,000 students ranked their emotional health at approximately 50%, which is the lowest level recorded in the study.

"Some of my clients who are college students don't always feel comfortable with some of the classes and professors at their school," says Dr. Sheri Siegel, a psychologist who specializes in child and young adult behavior, "These issues become even more prevalent during finals. Their grades are on the line."

Despite evidence of deteriorating mental health in college students, some universities have found innovative methods of reducing anxiety at the most stressful time of the year. Others possess long-standing school traditions, which have grown in popularity over time.

Here are six schools that have special techniques to help their students cope with stress during finals:

1. New York University

At NYU, students receive delicious and motivational gifts from the campus health center. "They hand out goodie bags with stress balls and chocolate in them during our midterms and final exams. They get really into it," says NYU freshman Alison Swoish.

2. Brown University

Brown University students have actually taken it upon themselves to help their fellow undergraduates get through rough study sessions. "Towards the end of our reading period, a secret group of people will go all over campus and hand out doughnuts in the nude," says Brown sophomore Brian Cohn. The decade-old Naked Doughnut Run is a sacred tradition and one the university continues to support every semester.

3. Tulane University

Down in New Orleans, Tulane University keeps their dining facilities open late in the evening for a celebration students like to call Cram Jam. "It's a theme night where the freshmen dining hall opens up to all Tulane students for extra hours," says Tulane senior Laura Aronoff, "There's a ton of food, music, and fun!"

4. University of Georgia

Instead of singular events at the end of each semester, UGA students get to experience school-sponsored relaxation in their libraries throughout the year. Their de-stress tables have many options to ensure the average stressed-out college student can relieve some anxiety. "They include coloring books, puzzles and sometimes free coffee for the students," says UGA senior Emily Salerno.

5. Arizona State University

ASU takes an alternative route by getting the parents of the students involved during finals preparation. "The honors college has something called Smoothie Saturday," says ASU sophomore Katherine Segell, "Moms and dads come in to make homemade smoothies for their kids."

6. University of Southern California

Every night before final exams, the USC Trojan Marching Band plays USC fight songs outside the only campus library open for 24 hours. "The Primal Scream is a really fun way to let off steam, to represent our school, and motivate the students studying away in the library," says student and band member Katherine Desmond, "It's nice to have a study break every once in a while!"

NIMH " 5 Things You Should Know About Stress

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This factsheet discusses five things to know about stress and how to manage it.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What's your stress "tell?" For some, a quickened heart rate or a slight feeling of queasiness is enough to let them know they're getting anxious or overwhelmed. But just as a slight from your boss or bad news from a family member can get your stress hormones pumping and your blood pressure rising quickly, you have the power to reset almost instantly.

When we're stressed, hormones like cortisol flood our systems, producing the "fight or flight response" in which our heart rate goes up, we breathe more heavily (requiring more oxygen) and our blood vessels constrict. While in the pre-civilization world, the increased blood flow to our heart and muscles helped us escape from predators and dangerous situations, we find ourselves in a very different position now. Our bodies can't tell the difference between an approaching grizzly bear and a ticked off spouse or a particularly epic traffic jam, so our stress response is triggered when there's no imminent danger. Instead of helping us to escape, this can contribute to chronic conditions like hypertension and headaches, as well as mental health concerns like depression and anxiety disorders. What's more, stress can make other conditions -- like asthma, irritable bowel syndrome and insomnia -- worse.

The good news? Just as we have a stress response, we also have a "relaxation response," during which your breathing slows, your blood pressure decreases and you even use less oxygen, reports the NIH's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

We don't really have a choice when it comes to getting stressed -- we may as well work to undo its effects. With that in mind, here are 20 ways, backed up by good scientific evidence, to keep your stress in check:

Go For A 10 Minute Walk

While just about any walk will help to clear your head and boost endorphins (which, in turn, reduces stress hormones), consider walking in a park or other green space, which can actually put your body into a state of meditation, thanks to a phenomenon known as "involuntary attention" during which something holds our attention, but simultaneously allows for reflection.

Breathe Deeply
Any yogi knows that the breath -- known as pranayama or "life force" -- plays an important role in nourishing the body. And medical researchers agree.

"Breathing exercises can help you relax, because they make your body feel like it does when you are already relaxed," explains WebMD.

Breathing exercises -- or even just taking a few deep breaths -- can help reduce tension and relieve stress, thanks to an extra boost of oxygen. While shallow breathing -- a marker of stress -- stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, reported NPR, deep breathing does the opposite: It stimulates the parasympathetic reaction, which helps us to calm down.

What's more, breathing exercises have been proven in clinical research to aid some of the systems that are harmed by stress: They can reduce blood pressure and may even be able to change the expression of some genes, according to Harvard researcher Herbert Benson.

Visualize
A short visualization is an easy way to get back to center. Even the National Institutes for Health recognizes the power of "guided imagery" to elicit a relaxation response.

Simply make yourself comfortable (at your desk, in an empty conference room -- wherever!) and then try to picture a peaceful scene: a future vacation, your favorite beach. You can even visualize yourself accomplishing a future goal or, as Women's Health magazine puts it, "picture yourself in an elevator, happily sandwiched between two hot actors of your choice."

Eat A Snack (Mindfully!)
Stress-eating doesn't have to be bad.

"The connection between the gut and brain is huge -- called the 'gut-brain axis' -- and lots of interesting data supports the idea that the gut is a major mediator of the stress response," Dr. Drew Ramsey, an assistant clinical professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons and the author of The Happiness Diet told The Huffington Post earlier this year. "After all, stress is a brain and immune system mediated phenomena, and your gut is the largest organ in your immune system."

Pick a snack that will fill you up -- say, half an avocado, a handful of nuts or a hard boiled egg -- because nothing is more stressful to the brain, Ramsey explains, than feeling like you've run out of nourishment. Take your snack away from your computer and go sit someplace peaceful. Focus on your food: its texture, the way it tastes, how it makes you feel. Now you've turned your snack into a meditation.

Buy Yourself A Plant

Houseplants aren't just beautiful air purifiers -- they can actually help you calm down. Researchers have found that simply being around plants can induce your relaxation response. One Washington State University study found that a group of stressed-out people who entered a room full of plants had a four-point drop in their blood pressure, while a comparison group who didn't see plants dropped only two points, Prevention magazine reported.

Need some advice on what to buy? Here's a guide to houseplants that de-stress your home (or office!)

Make sure to take frequent breaks during your day of computer use -- and try to shut offline at least an hour before bedtime.
Pucker Up
Kissing relieves stress by helping your brain to release endorphins, reports WebMD. And that has real-life implications: In a study of 2,000 couples, Northwestern University researcher Laura Berman, Ph.D., found that those who only kissed when they had sex were eight times more likely to report feeling chronically stressed or depressed.

Try This Naam Yoga Hand Trick

Applying pressure to the space between your second and third knuckle (the joints at the base of your pointer and middle fingers) can help to create a sense of instant calm, according to Sharon Melnick, author of Success Under Stress.

"It activates a nerve that loosens the area around the heart, so any of that fluttery feeling you feel when you're nervous will end up going away," Melnick told Business Insider.

Hang Up, Then Turn Off Your Phone
Cell phones stress you out, there's no question about that. Talking can even raise your blood pressure.

And while music can soothe everyday anxiety (crank it up on the drive home!), research shows that it's particularly beneficial for those in the midst of stressful events, like surgery.

Don't have your headphones handy? Try humming or making your own music. One study of stressed-out nursing students found that recreational music-making relieved stress and prevented burnout.

Treat Yourself! Eat One (ONE!) Candy

Eating or drinking something sweet is soothing because it stems the production of the stress hormone, glucocorticoid (which helps explain why we find ourselves staring down the barrel of an empty cookie package when things go haywire). While not an excuse to unleash your emotional eating on the office vending machine, a Hershey's Kiss, peppermint candy or other reasonably-sized treat, can help.

Chew A Piece Of Gum

Chewing gum doesn't just make your breath better -- it can relieve anxiety, improve alertness and reduce stress during episodes of multitasking, according to a 2008 study.

Watch A Viral Video
A good laugh is a fine relaxation technique. "Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your brain," explains the Mayo Clinic.

Counterintuitively, laughter first activates your stress response and then deactivates it, creating a kind of "rollercoaster" that leads to a feeling of relaxation.

What's more, even if you don't find the viral video your uncle Joe sent you to be that funny, just the anticipation that it might be will actually boost endorphins.

See Your BFF
Friends aren't just fun -- your very closest ones can actually reduce your production of cortisol, according to a study in middle school aged children. We think the same holds true for adult besties. And psychologists agree.

Eat A Banana (Or A Potato!)
Potassium helps to regulate blood pressure, which rises during times of stress. Some people find that eating a banana when they're feeling stressed can help improve energy and recovery. And research shows that it can protect your body from the negative effects of stress, like increased risk of heart attack and stroke. The American Psychological Association recommends it to stave off the physical detriments of stress as well.

Eagle pose is a prime example of how a brief asana can target back and neck tension. Learn how to do the pose here.

Craft

Repetitive motions -- like the fine motor skills used to knit, make jewelry or cross-stitch -- can soothe anxiety, according to avid knitter and pediatrician, Perri Klass, M.D. Mindfulness expert Dr. Herbert Benson agrees: Knitting fulfills the two criteria of mindfulness practice, as he sees it: "the repetition of a sound, word, phrase prayer, or movement, and the passive setting aside of intruding thoughts and returning to the repetition."

¨A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.¨

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Feeling like there are too many pressures and demands on you? Losing sleep worrying about tests and schoolwork? Eating on the run because your schedule is just too busy?

You're not alone. Everyone feels stressed out at times - adults, teens, and even kids. But you can avoid getting too stressed out by handling everyday pressures and problems, staying calm, asking for help when you need it, and making time to relax.

What Is Stress?

Stress is a response to pressure or threat. Under stress we may feel tense, nervous, or on edge. The stress response is physical, too. Stress triggers a surge of a hormone called adrenaline that temporarily affects the nervous system. As a result, when you're nervous or stressed you might feel your heartbeat or breathing get faster, your palms get sweaty, or your knees get shaky.

The stress response is also called the fight-or-flight-response. It's an automatic response that prepares us to deal with danger.

But a situation doesn't have to be physically dangerous to activate the stress response. Everyday pressures can activate it, too. For example, you might feel stress before taking a test or a giving class presentation, facing a tough opponent in a sport, or going on stage for a performance.

Even in these situations (which are hardly life-or-death), the stress response activates to help you perform well under pressure. It can help you rise to a challenge and meet it with alertness, focus, and strength. Facing these challenges - rather than backing away from them - is a part of learning and growing.

When the challenge is over, the stress response lets up. You can relax and recharge, and be ready for a new challenge.

When Stress Doesn't Ease Up

Stress doesn't always happen in response to things that are immediate and over with quickly. Ongoing or long-term events, like coping with a divorce or moving to a new neighborhood or school, can cause stress, too.

Long-term stressful situations can produce a lasting, low-level stress that can leave a person feeling tired or overwhelmed. Finding ways to cope with the difficult situation can prevent this from happening, and ease stress that's been lasting. Sometimes, people need help to deal with difficult situations that lead to intense or lasting stress.

Keep Stress Under Control

Here are some things that can help keep stress under control:

Take a stand against overscheduling. If you're feeling stretched, consider cutting out an activity or two, choosing just the ones that are most important to you.

Be realistic. Don't try to be perfect - no one is. Don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself. If you need help with something like schoolwork or dealing with a loss, ask for it.

Get a good night's sleep. Getting enough sleep helps keep your body and mind in top shape, making you better equipped to deal with any negative stressors. Because the biological "sleep clock" shifts during adolescence, many teens prefer staying up a little later at night and sleeping a little later in the morning. But if you stay up late and still need to get up early for school, you may not get all the hours of sleep you need.

Learn to relax. The body's natural antidote to stress is called therelaxation response. It's the opposite of stress, and is a feeling of well-being and calm. You can activate the relaxation response simply by relaxing. Learn and practice easy breathing exercises, then use them when you're caught up in stressful situations.

Make time for fun. Build time into your schedule for activities you enjoy - read a good book, play with your pet, laugh, do a hobby, make art or music, spend time with positive people, or be in nature.

Treat your body well. Get regular exercise and eat well to help your body function at its best. When you're stressed out, it's easy to eat on the run or eat junk food. But under stressful conditions, you need good nutrition more than ever.

Find the upside. Your outlook, attitude, and thoughts influence the way you see things. Is your cup half full or half empty? A healthy dose of optimism can help you make the best of stressful circumstances - and even recognize something you've learned from the situation.

Solve the little problems. Take action to solve problems that crop up. For example, if you're stressed out over homework, size up the situation and figure out ways to handle it better.

Build positive relationships. Knowing that there are people who believe in us boosts our ability to deal with challenges.Ask for help and support when you need it. Share what you're going through - including the good things that are happening.

You can do things to handle the stress that comes along with any new challenge, good or bad. Stress-management skills work best when they're practiced ahead of time, not just when the pressure's on. Knowing how to "de-stress" and calm yourself can help you get through challenging circumstances.
