6 Perfect Ways To Relax This Summer

Is Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots seem to be your new anthem? With summer classes, internship, and also a job, summer is supposed to be a time to relax but when you’re a young adult it seems like there is no time unwind and kick off your shoes and relax. Whenever I am stressing over life my mom always tells me to meditate, but this isn't the only way I like to unwind.

Working Out


De-stress while getting beach-bod ready. Going to the gym to get away from your troubles for a while, and at the same time getting fit is an awesome way to de-stress. When you work out your body releases endorphins to help relieve pain and will make you happy.

Color


Adult coloring books are totally in! It’s a past time we all used to love when we were younger and can now help you de-stress. AC Moore has some great books to grab, I have also seen some in the supermarket as well. There are also some awesome apps that you can use to color, like Enchanted Forest and Color Therapy to name a few.

Read


Get away from your world and get lost in another. Reading is something that is always a relaxing activity. Grab a good book a cup of tea or coffee and curl up on the couch and read a chapter or two.

Take a Bath


Taking a bath is an awesome stress reliever, and no taking a bath isn’t just for girls, so boys grab your bath bombs and hop into the bath to de-stress. Soak in the warm water, put some music on and just get away from the world for a while.

Take a nap


Closing your eyes for a half hour and shutting off your brain for a little will always be a go-to way to de-stress. What is usually recommended is a 20-30 minute nap, but if you're like me and it takes you a while to actually fall asleep I usually set aside 45-50 minutes know that it will take me 10-15 minutes to fall asleep. You’ll wake up energized and ready to concur the world.

Dance it out


Just like our friends Meredith and Christina, whenever you get stressed out, put some music on and dance it out. Jamming out to one of your favorite songs whether it’s for a couple minutes or a whole session will help and relieve the stress.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.
