I like to watch Netflix, cuddle with my cat, and read. I also play the piano every once in a while or do cross-stitching or knitting, but unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time to do those things recently.

Hi! I like to watch Netflix or play video games with my friends. Sometimes, I also enjoy playing board games with my family.

Posted: **Sun Jan 10, 2021 1:26 pm**

cooking is probably one of the biggest ways I relax

Posted: **Sun Jan 10, 2021 1:32 pm**

Music and some good food is always the way to go .

Posted: **Sun Jan 10, 2021 5:43 pm**

To relax, I enjoy watching an inspirational movie or calling up a friend.

Posted: **Fri Jan 15, 2021 3:01 pm**

I have been enjoying reading lately. Sometimes I'll watch netflix if I have something good to watch.

Posted: **Sat Jan 16, 2021 2:27 pm**

I really like taking a walk when it's warm and sunny outside while listening to music!

Posted: **Sat Jan 16, 2021 2:29 pm**

I usually never have much time to watch my shows on Netflix, so when I do have downtime that's my favorite thing to do to relax.

Posted: **Sat Jan 16, 2021 8:47 pm**

When I am stressed from school, I like to lay down and either watch some shows or listen to music. Often times, I would just take a walk around my house or talk to my siblings.

Posted: **Sat Jan 16, 2021 8:55 pm**

I usually watch some movies or shows. Or sometimes I listen to music.

Posted: **Sat Jan 16, 2021 9:01 pm**

If you're fidgety when you're stressed, try investing in a high-quality stress ball. You won't regret it :)

Eat sleep rave repeat. It sucks but my friends this is the grind. One day after another. one day at a time. a quarter-mile at a time. from a 5 minute sleep to an 8 hour nap it's all the same in college.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2021 10:37 pm**

I took a meditating fiat lux class in the fall and it definitely helps me relax. It is nice to just sit and breathe for a minute, and not have to think about anything in particular. If you are interested in meditation I would definitely recommend taking Professor Shorter's Meditation fiat lux if he is going to offer it in the spring!

Posted: **Wed Jan 27, 2021 12:44 pm**

I like to watch shows, eat, nap, or play with my dog to destress :)

Posted: **Sun Jan 31, 2021 12:29 pm**

To relax I usually listen to music!

Posted: **Sun Jan 31, 2021 7:48 pm**

Youtube, Netflix, exercise

Posted: **Sun Jan 31, 2021 8:08 pm**

I love to go on walks once a day to relax! It definitely helps clear my mind and allows me to be slightly active! I also love to read a good book or just watch some Netflix :)

Posted: **Sun Jan 31, 2021 8:29 pm**

I love watching anime/movies/shows, playing videogames, talking to people and working out.

Posted: **Fri Feb 05, 2021 10:27 am**

To relax I watch a Netflix show that I find enjoyable, to get my mind off of school.

Posted: **Fri Feb 05, 2021 2:45 pm**

i like sitting down and listening to a podcast.

Posted: **Fri Feb 05, 2021 3:05 pm**

I plan my entire day and put aside some time to relay at night. I have recently discovered that I enjoy painting and it calms me down.

Posted: **Tue Feb 09, 2021 12:55 am**

I like jamming sessions with my favorite music, playing the piano, or watching Netflix as well!

Posted: **Tue Feb 09, 2021 1:41 am**

I read a fantasy book or pet my cat in my free time. Either that or play games in VR lol

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:04 pm**

Netflix is great :)

Posted: **Tue Mar 16, 2021 12:08 am**

I like to just lay down and listen to music or take a shower to clear up my mind. Just any activity that puts your mind back at ease. Having a good laugh works as well too.

Posted: **Sun Oct 03, 2021 8:32 pm**

I like going on hike or being outdoors. Helps calm my mind

Posted: **Sun Oct 03, 2021 8:46 pm**

I love to go on walks/hikes and hang out with friends. Spending time outside in general is super relaxing and a great way to destress :)

Posted: **Sun Oct 03, 2021 9:00 pm**

I usually listen to music in my room and sit down on my bed just to watch TV or youtube videos.

Posted: **Wed Oct 06, 2021 9:52 pm**

I like to do art, whether that be painting, drawing, or sewing. I also enjoy reading to take my mind off of things, watching Netflix, eating good food, and drinking tea. Listening to comforting music can really help me unwind after a hard day as well, so I always have my airpods with me.

Posted: **Fri Oct 08, 2021 1:24 pm**

Sleep!!! or going on a long walk and listening to audiobooks

Posted: **Sun Oct 10, 2021 11:57 pm**

I feel like finding ways to truly relax depends on the individual but for me listening to certain music does the job. Personally, old school r&b works best. I recommend listening to music with headphones because doing so almost allows you to escape into a different world which is best when you are trying to distract yourself from the current stress you are encountering. Additionally, this may sound a little weird but watching cartoons also calms me down because it reminds me of when I was younger and had no worries.

Posted: **Sat Oct 16, 2021 9:52 pm**

It is never alright to force yourself while you're burned out. For me, the way I relax would play video games or attempt to dream as a form of escapism. Going outside just to breathe and take in the peace quiet helps most people out, or as a way to de-stress, you can scream in a place where no one is watching. Also drinking water is a good way to relax. Sometimes people forget to be hydrated and that can lead to headaches and other forms of pain.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2021 12:09 am**

netflix, naps, soccer, music

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2021 12:10 am**

I usually just blast music that I've played before and relive the memories of playing those pieces with that group of people.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2021 9:44 am**

I think that cooking and baking helps me relax. I especially like making Italian food, like pasta, pizza, and different desserts from scratch.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2021 5:30 pm**

I like to relax by running and hanging out with my friends.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2021 5:32 pm**

Good food, good music, or a good TV show usually help me relax and destress.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2021 5:40 pm**

Listening to music, watching movies and eating good food

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2021 6:48 pm**

Something I really love to to listen to music wile taking long drives or walks. It helps with stress and is really fun. Anything that is peaceful but relaxing is something that can help you with stress.

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2021 6:59 pm**

Hi! I usually take my dogs for walks or take a bath

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2021 9:02 pm**

I like to sit with a warm drink (hot chocolate or tea or coffee, whatever floats your boat), get into comfy clothes and watch tv, read, or turn on calming music/ambient lighting and just sit! Sometimes stretching after a long day of work can feel super refreshing, and its also good for you! :)

Posted: **Sun Oct 17, 2021 9:04 pm**

To relax, I try to get enough sleep or more sleep, exercise, and spend time with friends. Relaxing is an important part of mental health and therefore important to helping you succeed in chemistry and school in general!!

Music, Music, Music. I love listening to dreampop, lo-fi, classical, meditation music. But listen to whatever winds you down. I find music to be a good distraction from the real world, a temporary escape if you will.

Posted: **Sun Oct 24, 2021 11:27 pm**

I enjoy exercising, talking to my family, and chatting with my roommates!

Posted: **Sun Oct 24, 2021 11:28 pm**

I just like to lay in my bed and listen to music, close my eyes, and try to tune out everything around me. It's super nice to not think about anything for a certain amount of time and just focus on the music.

Posted: **Mon Oct 25, 2021 12:06 am**

Especially now, I usually destress by working out and listening to music, playing basketball, and playing games with my friends. I even joined the club Track and Field team to get myself in that mental state I had prior to covid during high school. Not only is it another extracurricular to keep my mind not on school 24/7, but it's a way for me to socialize with more people, since there are not many people I know with me being on campus for the first time. Also finding joy in being a student athlete again because it forces me to balance life out with tasks, helping my high functioning anxiety self lmao

Posted: **Mon Oct 25, 2021 12:08 am**

Going on a walk with music playing is the best relaxation for me.

Posted: **Mon Oct 25, 2021 1:18 pm**

I mostly listen to music or FaceTime my close friends. I’m not an extrovert exactly, but whenever I feel stressed it’s always helpful to have someone to talk me through my thoughts! I also like to read and draw, or I take a walk without music.

Posted: **Mon Oct 25, 2021 10:22 pm**

I usually relax by listening to music or reading a book while sitting outside. Nature always seems to calm me down I'm stressed.

Posted: **Mon Oct 25, 2021 10:25 pm**

Honestly my friends are my happy place so just having spontaneous adventures with them to go get food or boba, it relaxes my mind for a while.

Posted: **Fri Nov 05, 2021 11:49 am**

To relax, I like to take walks, talk to friends, eat some comfort food, take a shower, and listen to music.

Posted: **Fri Nov 05, 2021 11:54 am**

when I want to relax I tend either to watch TV or a movie, or if I want to relax but feel slightly more productive I will draw. I have a doodle book and I will put on some music and just sit and draw. It is really nice because I enjoy it and it helps ease my mind, but I still feel like I am accomplishing something and don't have that feeling of guilt over "wasting" time that sometimes comes with watching TV. Also, listening to music (or not listening to music) and going for a walk can be really nice too.

Posted: **Fri Nov 05, 2021 1:40 pm**

I like to call my friends and family.

Posted: **Fri Nov 05, 2021 2:07 pm**

I usually go on a run but since coming to college I have been struggling to find time. Running makes me clear my mind and also feel heathier.

Posted: **Sun Nov 07, 2021 7:31 pm**

I find getting off of my electronic devices and just listening to music while laying down helps me relax :)

Posted: **Sun Nov 07, 2021 7:35 pm**

Hi,
I like to listen to music, watch/make Tik Toks, and talk to my family when I have free time and to relax.

Posted: **Sun Nov 07, 2021 7:38 pm**

I like to take long showers and after just watch Netflix or Youtube while laying in bed. Sometimes, even though it sounds kind of odd, I like to clean just because it takes my mind off things and when I'm done it feels good to see a clean space.

Posted: **Sun Nov 07, 2021 7:50 pm**

I like watching cartoons. Sometimes it makes me feel worse though.

Posted: **Sun Nov 07, 2021 11:40 pm**

I listen to music and go for long walks, if I can't go outside I just pace around the room. I probably look insane but walking helps me stay on a train of thought for longer.

Posted: **Sun Nov 14, 2021 12:08 pm**

Going on a walk while listening to music always relaxes me.

Posted: **Sun Nov 14, 2021 10:19 pm**

To relax I usually go on tik tok, call a close family member or friend. I also like to spend time alone and outside if I ever need to remove myself from a specific environment.

Posted: **Sun Nov 14, 2021 10:23 pm**

I listen to music or I watch a movie

Posted: **Sun Nov 14, 2021 10:31 pm**

either watch criminal minds or take a nap

Posted: **Thu Nov 18, 2021 9:48 am**

I usually nap, watch netflix, or go on a walk and listen to music!

Posted: **Thu Nov 18, 2021 10:41 am**

I like to listen to music and also sit outside with no distractions to relax.
