6 Perfect Ways To Relax This Summer

Is Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots seem to be your new anthem? With summer classes, internship, and also a job, summer is supposed to be a time to relax but when you’re a young adult it seems like there is no time unwind and kick off your shoes and relax. Whenever I am stressing over life my mom always tells me to meditate, but this isn't the only way I like to unwind.

Working Out


De-stress while getting beach-bod ready. Going to the gym to get away from your troubles for a while, and at the same time getting fit is an awesome way to de-stress. When you work out your body releases endorphins to help relieve pain and will make you happy.

Color


Adult coloring books are totally in! It’s a past time we all used to love when we were younger and can now help you de-stress. AC Moore has some great books to grab, I have also seen some in the supermarket as well. There are also some awesome apps that you can use to color, like Enchanted Forest and Color Therapy to name a few.

Read


Get away from your world and get lost in another. Reading is something that is always a relaxing activity. Grab a good book a cup of tea or coffee and curl up on the couch and read a chapter or two.

Take a Bath


Taking a bath is an awesome stress reliever, and no taking a bath isn’t just for girls, so boys grab your bath bombs and hop into the bath to de-stress. Soak in the warm water, put some music on and just get away from the world for a while.

Take a nap


Closing your eyes for a half hour and shutting off your brain for a little will always be a go-to way to de-stress. What is usually recommended is a 20-30 minute nap, but if you're like me and it takes you a while to actually fall asleep I usually set aside 45-50 minutes know that it will take me 10-15 minutes to fall asleep. You’ll wake up energized and ready to concur the world.

Dance it out


Just like our friends Meredith and Christina, whenever you get stressed out, put some music on and dance it out. Jamming out to one of your favorite songs whether it’s for a couple minutes or a whole session will help and relieve the stress.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
