For some, entering college (UP) is like digging your own grave. It will test your limits in physical, emotional and mental health. Exams, papers, quizzes and other requirements will exhaust you so it is a must that you know how to give yourself a break.
There are many ways to treat yourself but here are some that are proven and tested by yours truly:
Communicate
Your family and friends are always behind your back to support you. It is okay to open up and vent out all the things that makes you feel bad. Communication will not only make you feel better but will bring you closer to them as well.
Stressed=Desserts
Don’t have a second thought on buying that sweets! We all have our favorite foods but desserts are the ones that make our moods lighter. Chocolates, cakes or milktea, go grab it ‘cos you deserve it.
Watch/Listen/Read
These three activities are good escape from reality. Crossing-out an episode from a series you are watching, reading a new book or dancing to a good music will make you forget all the deadlines even for just a short period of time. Doing these three will give you that rollercoaster ride for an hour or two.
Go for a Stroll
Elbi is a very beautiful place to de-stress (how ironic right?). Just feel the heat of the sun or the cold breeze at night and let your mind wander. Take a walk and observe what people are doing and you’ll find peace in them.
Sleep
Of course the best thing to give yourself after beating the deadlines is a good sleep. This is the way to rest both of your mind and body. After good hours of sleep, you’ll find yourself more focused and productive for the rest of the day.
