Fun Ways To Relieve Stress

Everyone recommends doing yoga or coloring one of the new mandala coloring books, but that stuff gets boring after a while. Here are a few creative ways to relieve stress or just take a break from all the commotion going on.

Fun Ways To Relieve Stress

Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is one of the most fun activities you will try. Regardless if you are just climbing around and testing your skills, or challenging yourself on the hardest vertical, it is such a fun activity that more people need to try. Not only is it super fun to do with friends, but you will also work new muscles and gain some great leg and hand strength.

Pottery Painting

Painting pottery is like coloring, but on something, you can use later on and show off to friends. Many towns have to paint your own pottery places where there are pre-made ceramics just waiting to be painted. Whether it is a little trinket or a mug, take a night out and paint something for yourself, a friend, or a loved one.

Do a Puzzle

Puzzles have such a bad rep of being an activity for lonely old people. However, don't knock them until you've tried doing a puzzle on wine Wednesday night. Think regular puzzles are too easy or boring? I challenge you to try to circular puzzles or, even harder, the double sided puzzles. Spend a few days racking your brain on a puzzle where both sides on the same image, then tell me they are only for lonely old people.

Bake Some Treats

Baking is always a fun and delicious way to take a break. Heat the oven up, get our your favorite songs to jam to and bake away. Everyone loves some homemade cookies or brownies, but why not step outside the box and try to create some holiday-themed cake pops or treats.

DIY Project

Have you ever thought about turning an old window frame into a unique photo display case? Pinterest is the mother load when it comes to DIY projects. Whether you want to create a festive holiday decoration, or are looking for ways to bring a new life to an old piece of furniture. The best part is you can even look up dollar store DIY projects for those of us living on a college budget.

Try a Fun Workout Class

Everyone has been all about the yoga fad that seems to have taken over the internet, but what about the other fitness classes there are? Consider something that you would have never thought of like aerobics, a spin class, or even an intro to dance class for beginners. They may not be a weekly habit for you, but they can be a fun little break to try something new and have a good laugh with friends.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
