I think being in college and having a job has taught me the true appreciation of having a day to just lay in bed and do nothing. There is always something coming your way whether it's homework, or studying, or tests, or any of the unexpected mishaps that always occur at work; this is life people and instead of avoiding the hard stuff, appreciate the days when you can sit back and feel rewarded for your hard work.

I know it's hard for some people- me included- to relax and not feel at least a little bit guilty about it because you know there is always something you can be doing that is productive. But, sometimes your brain and body just need the break and I think we all need to learn that it's okay to just be lazy sometimes. There is so much pressure to be the very best we can be, but we can't reach that potential if we lose ourselves along the way in stress and the impacts of life.

I just want to say that you can spend a day on the couch.

You can spend a day in bed.

You can spend a day joy reading or watching movies of your choice.

You can be tired and overwhelmed and anxious and it is okay!

Look, we can complain all we want and find excuses to be stressed all we want but deep down it is your decision as an individual to act upon these things. As humans we all need some time to just decompress and if you can't find the time or you don't want to find the time to do that, then don't complain because you have the control in your life- no one else.

Lazy days matter because our health matters, and our futures matter, and our happiness matters, and lazy days allow us to accomplish all of these things because lazy days are what allow us to heal from the crazy days. Just live life and be lazy if you start feeling like you're taking on too much because

it

is

okay!
