This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Dickinson chapter.

Sometimes (or maybe more than sometimes) during your school year, you may feel a little bit stressed or anxious because of all those unfinished homework, lab assignments, jobs and you are struggling to figure out how to get all of them done by the forthcoming deadline. Or maybe there are some moments in your life when you are in a not-so-good condition and you can even find a way to fall asleep. You might have wished that you could pluck all of those stress right away, even if it is just for a moment, to feel relaxed, comfortable and blessed.

 

Then, let’s find a quaint corner, grab your headphones, close your eyes and enjoy your moments with ASMR.

 

For those who don’t know what ASMR is yet, let’s try to remind you of the time you hear somebody gently whisper to your ear. What you felt at that moment is nearly the same as what you may feel when listening to ASMR. Tingled, right? Like a gentle whisper, ASMR would bring listeners a tingling sensation which normal-volume sound cannot do. The sound of close whisper, mic scratching, phone tapping, or just simply face touching has the power to calm our mind and after just a moment, our brain is like being massaged and we can feel an enjoying feeling that we have been feeling for.

So, where

you can find those ASMR sounds to hear? My suggestion would be Youtube, where there are tons of videos including ASMR videos uploaded everyday. ASMR videos on Youtube are most of the time of high quality, running smoothly and of the most importance, they are all free which is great for college students. Below are recommended ASMR videos and as a reminder, be sure that you have grabbed your headphones and surroundings are quite now:

Food and ASMR! Nothing is more wonderful than the combination of these two! Let’s click on the link and enjoy the sound of a honeycomb cut.

The sound of a soap scratched. Be prepared to be amazed at those nails!

 

You can also find more videos from the channels that upload ASMR videos above. I have had great experiences with many ASMR videos from those channels, which helps me a lot to relax after hard work, just simply by being tingles by those gently calm sound. Hope you can all experience the same thing that I did. Wish you all have a wonderful school year!
