10 Ways To Relax While Studying Abroad
Jenna Carson

Let's be so honest here: studying abroad is the most amazing experience you could ever have. You are literally spending three months in an amazing new country, making new friends, and trying things you may never have otherwise.

While these amazingly fabulous trips are so much fun, you will start to notice you become super tired. Also, you will start to remember that you also have classes and begin to stress about the work you have been putting off the entire semester while you were sipping champagne on the top of the Eiffel Tower. So how the heck can you relax when you have so much going on around you? I will tell you how my friend.


1. Take A Bath/Shower

Once you're nice and clean you'll start to feel better already.

2. Go For A Walk

Go do some exploring to relax.

3. Stay In One Night

Yes, it's a lot of fun to go out to a bar, but you should take one night out of the week to stay in. Plus you'll save some money!

4. Take A Nap

Self-explanatory.

5. Stay In Your Study City For The Weekend

All the traveling to other cities is amazing, but take one weekend to stay in one place.

6. Call Your Parents/Siblings/Friends

This is probably my answer to everything.

7. Cook For Yourself

This is such a stress relief for me.

8. Watch A Movie

Or a new TV show.

9. Sleep In Late One Morning

Also self-explanatory.

10. Retail Therapy

Go shopping and it will definitely calm you down.


Follow these tips to relax when you're studying abroad and you'll be a-okay. There's no reason to feel overwhelmed when you can simply take time to do what your body and mind needs to relax.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
