Spring break is almost here... Thank goodness! It'll be nice to get away from the work load for a while. Here are some things that I plan to do to reduce my stress during the break.

1. Enjoy the weather.

The weather has been really nice recently. Where I live, the winter hasn't been bad at all this year. I'm hoping that the nice weather will stick around while I'm on spring break. I would love to be able to get some fresh air and take my dog for plenty of walks! Warmer weather is my favorite because there is a noticeable improvement in the way that I feel.

2. Watch Disney movies.

I'll watch any movies that I want, but I am especially excited to watch Disney movies that I haven't seen in a while. Disney movies help to get my mind off of things while giving me a sense of nostalgia. I never get tired of them!

3. Get more sleep.

A lot of college students can say they're sleep deprived. I definitely am. Between the work load and stress that keeps me up at night, sometimes I wonder how I don't fall asleep during my classes. I'm not afraid to say that I'm planning to sleep in during spring break. I need the extra time to recharge.

4. Spend more time with friends and family.

I love that school keeps me busy because I never have time to get bored. There's times when my work gets in the way of doing things that I really want to do. This break will allow me to have more time to focus on enjoying the people in my life. They are not second best compared to my homework, but there are things that we all have to do. My family and friends will always be the most important aspects of my life.

5. Take more time to focus on myself.

The past few days have been some of the most stressful days of my life. That's saying a lot. I need to take time during this break to focus on my own well being. I want to do whatever I can to lower my anxiety level and make myself happy.
