After weeks of slaving away at school, trying to survive on only caffeine and stress, and also managing to appear like you've got your life together, it can be a bit of a let down to just "relax". When your bodies are so used to constantly going 24/7, relaxing can be well... difficult. Here are nine easy steps the busiest of girls can follow in order to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
1. Put your unnecessary groupchats on mute.
The thought of this alone strikes fear into your very bones. However, turning off any *unnecessary* groupchats is vital for your mental health. You've got a meme chat going? Put it on mute so you don't feel the need to be involved in every meme.
2. Go to Target and buy a facial mask to indulge in the day before Thanksgiving.
Only $5 and a whole lots of relaxing. Face Masks not only leave your skin feeling soft and smooth but also give you some down time to yourself.
3. Dig out your fuzziest and coziest blanket.
Becoming a human burrito is literally the best form of relaxtion ever.
4. Find a new series to binge-watch or relive your childhood nostalgia.
Get your recliner ready for some serious action. Pop a squat and get your mind away from all of the stress and get yourself wrapped into all of the Riverdale drama.
5. Check your email only a couple times a day.
*your email to you*
6. Read a book.
Sometimes the best thing to do is turn off all of your devices and grab a good book. Poetry is all the rage right now, so maybe try out Rupi Kaur's newest collection!
7. Facetime your friends.
Maybe you've gone less than a week from seeing them, but maybe call in and check up on them!
8. Find some new music from up and coming artists.
Finding up and coming artists is always a fun task. Especially when you want to feel productive and not actually do anything. Finding new artists, such as Emmaline, can make for a killer playlist when you go back to school.
9. Prepare for the upcoming Christmas music onslaught.
