Midterms is a very busy time. If you're like me, you will have about two major exams in one day. The past week has been super busy. I have been a hermit in my apartment, studying anything and everything. But, this past weekend I realized the importance of relaxing. I was actually going crazy just studying the whole time. Here are some of the ways I relaxed:

1. Listening to Music

Listening to music is huge. It helped me focus on my homework and helped me relax by laying in bed and getting lost in the music.

2. Journaling

As a believer in writing down everything, I have been journaling a lot. Writing down all of your stressors is proven to help feel less stressed.

3. Netflixing

After studying for about six hours, the last thing I want to do is think even more. Another way to relax for me is to turn on Netflix and just shut my brain down for a while. I have watched Zootopia, A Cinderella Story, Family Guy and Bob's Burgers. I highly recommend all of them.

4. Hanging Out With Friends

As counter-productive as it sounds, hanging out with good, real friends will definitely help you relax. Putting down your books and grabbing a cup of coffee with a good friend and having a meaningful conversation would put you in a good mood.
