Balancing work, school, and a social life can be a daunting task. You only have so much time in a day, and everything in your life is in competition for that time. People need breaks sometimes. Stepping away from the things that stress you out for small periods of time can be pivotal towards your outlook on them.
Say you have a very stressful project for one of your classes that you just can't seem to get off your mind. Taking some time away and enjoying the beautiful weather for a few hours can give you a fresh mindset and some optimism that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
This reality check is something I go back to as a good failsafe whenever I get too stressed. Taking time to relax is not a waste. It is a good way to reset. Whether it is getting some exercise, reading a book, or staying in and watching your favorite show, everyone needs a place where they can forget about everything and relax.
A great student knows that you need balance, so make time for it in your life.
