In a rapid departure from requested information, go smoke some weed man.

As a Dutch guy who has smoked weed for over 20 years now, I would not really recommend it to get rid of the type of stress as described by the OP, especially not with the thouroughbred species of überweed that are on the market nowadays.
Also, weed does not help when you need to study for a test. At least not when it comes to efficiently memorizing theory. It can sometimes help with the more creative courses though.

Smoke weed when it's holiday season, when there's no workloads stressing you out. 

Also, Tea + Warmth + Classical musical + some other interesting activity = success.

Mostly agree, although in this case I'd swap out the 'interesting activity' for 'relaxing activity'. Keep the stimuli low.

I got the tea and it did the job just fine.

Good to hear

Not for nothing but I don't trust potheads

Weed does not make a person untrustworthy. It's not crack cocaine, you know.
Then again, in my country it's legal.

and I kinda look down on them.

Aww. You're somewhat insulting a significant portion of this forum's members I believe

MMmmm, like I said, "Fuck it" can be a useful attitude in some situations but not many. Especially not college.

Also yeah, the mutant bubonic chronic that's out there today is probably a little too high powered for just some general stress relief. He wants to be calmer, not travel back in time

Hopefully not martinuzz lol.

I've found people who use weed just get addicted to the lifestyle despite it not being addicting. Also its illegal in America so I think theres a superiority complex with "Ya I smoked weed. Feeling uber badass right now." in the back of their minds versus Dutch "I think i'm going to roll up in this restraunt here.".

According to my friend he was culture shocked when that last thing happened in his trip.

True. Just the other day I lost my campus ID Card (while massively high) and I was freaking out when I had to get back in to my dorm. Worst experience of my life.

Yeah I understand what you're saying.
I am really curious, and would like to see research done into the effect of the regular adrenaline spikes on human behaviour.
Wherever it's illegal, I can see part, if not most of the experienced effect coming from adrenaline rather than the weed itself.
And we all know adrenaline rush is addictive. Ask them tightrope walkers and free climbers.

Hehe yeah. For me, getting some weed is like the same thing as going to the supermarket for some groceries.

Not a big deal but I would be surprised also.

DRUGS ARE BAD FOR MANAGING ANYTHING... except drug habits
Seriously this will sound cheesy and uv heard it before.
Get some regular exercise, eat well (fruits n such not empty cals) learn a few breathing exersises and try to realise why you are stressing.
And after doing this FIRST and you truly feel like shit, feel stressed or depressed. Then you may begin to look for other treatments.
Fuck valium and that lame shit. Smoke a blunt and put on netflix and forget about the oven being on.
Stress is the manifestation of overthinking, controlled ignorance is bliss.

And for any one reading this, seriously exersise daily if you feel bad.
Do it before you die, dont let that beautiful stranger walk by.

Not in Colorado

I think the best advice for de-stressing is simply "Take a break."
If you're reading this, you're already started.  ;P
Now go set a timer for like 15 minutes and read something or something.  Repeat as needed until work is done.
Tea is nice too.
