Mental Health Days

it is important to remember the mental health of your body as well. It is easy for students to become overwhelmed by the surplus of work they are expected to do. I find that it helps to take a day to yourself once in a while.

**be careful. you may get carried away and gain too many absences. make sure to keep track!

set aside a day, weekend or not, to sleep in. Don't set an alarm. Wake up when your body is ready.

Make a list of things you need to do (academically and otherwise).

Get everything together that you need ie: detergent to do laundry, project supplies, etc.
This way, when you decide to start completing your list, you will have everything in order. This really takes a load off of yourself

By simply doing nothing for a day, you are allowing your body to recharge and relax. This is also a good way for your mind to relax. Don't allow yourself to think about anything academically. You will be surprised how clear your mind will be when you're ready to begin attacking your committments.
