It’s midterm season, and you’re probably starting to feel a little run down from all the late night cramming and rushing to early morning exams. It’s time for a break – a day just for YOU! Here are 5 reasons why you should take a mental health day and focus on yourself for a change.
1. Stressing yourself out can make you physically sick
Being a student is a 24/7 stress show. There’s no better time to catch that flu going around campus or develop more serious consequences from over stressing. And even if you’re not sick, it’s okay to cancel your plans so you can focus on you.
2. You can finally catch up on those Netflix originals
You know you’ve been dying to catch up on that new season released on Netflix or finish up where you left off before the grind of midterms.
3. Being a student is hard and you need that break
There’s nothing wrong with giving yourself a day to relax, everyone needs a break sometimes. We’re not robots, you know.
4. You can take that much needed bubble bath
What better way to relax than by taking a hot bubble bath? Put on some tunes and relax – not to mention, you can totally use that bath bomb you’ve been saving for a rainy day!
5. You can finally take a nap in your own bed, instead of at the library
No more having to worry about the utter embarrassment of waking up in a room of 40 people studying… Because yes, it happens. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
