10 Ways To Relax While Studying Abroad
Jenna Carson

Let's be so honest here: studying abroad is the most amazing experience you could ever have. You are literally spending three months in an amazing new country, making new friends, and trying things you may never have otherwise.

While these amazingly fabulous trips are so much fun, you will start to notice you become super tired. Also, you will start to remember that you also have classes and begin to stress about the work you have been putting off the entire semester while you were sipping champagne on the top of the Eiffel Tower. So how the heck can you relax when you have so much going on around you? I will tell you how my friend.


1. Take A Bath/Shower

Once you're nice and clean you'll start to feel better already.

2. Go For A Walk

Go do some exploring to relax.

3. Stay In One Night

Yes, it's a lot of fun to go out to a bar, but you should take one night out of the week to stay in. Plus you'll save some money!

4. Take A Nap

Self-explanatory.

5. Stay In Your Study City For The Weekend

All the traveling to other cities is amazing, but take one weekend to stay in one place.

6. Call Your Parents/Siblings/Friends

This is probably my answer to everything.

7. Cook For Yourself

This is such a stress relief for me.

8. Watch A Movie

Or a new TV show.

9. Sleep In Late One Morning

Also self-explanatory.

10. Retail Therapy

Go shopping and it will definitely calm you down.


Follow these tips to relax when you're studying abroad and you'll be a-okay. There's no reason to feel overwhelmed when you can simply take time to do what your body and mind needs to relax.

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.

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.
