While we all may feel like "dropping out," it's not the solution. Instead of throwing away your education, try taking a mental health day!
So what do you do on a mental health day? (And if you're really stressed, take the whole weekend. You deserve it!)
Anything that makes you happy and stress-free.
Sleep in, get a good breakfast, catch-up on some television, or hang out with friends (coordinate your mental health days!). Basically, to have a successful mental health day, you just need to get away from your obligations.
