A workload of a college student is no joke. There are weeks wherein you have a bunch of things to accomplish and weeks wherein you will question why you have so much time on your hands. For the former, there is a need to rest, chill, and de-stress to stay healthy- mentally, physically, and even psychologically.
How to unwind:
Treat yourself
Treating oneself can come in many forms. May it be finally buying the food you’ve been eye-balling all week but your budget said no, getting that 6 hours or more of sleep, watching that K drama/TV Show/Anime/Movie you’ve been putting off, or hanging out with your friends. It’s the reward you deserve after working so hard.
Exercise
Exercise is proven to improve one’s well-being and reduce stress. Going to the gym is not essential. You can jog or brisk walk around the campus, and you can even attend Zumba sessions.
Go outside
Staying within the four corners of a room can be suffocating. Go outside, sit down on a field, and relax. Seeing a new environment free from any thoughts of academic-related things is relaxing. It’s one way to chill and de-stress.
