Jason08 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, I was wondering what other IB students do if they want to relieve stress... lmao Like for myself i usually download movies and when i get stressed i watch them or i watch korean dramas online(i'm Asian, or might just play online games, i play farmerstory which is a private server for maplestory. So, what do you do? Edited May 23, 2010 by Jason08 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Glau Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) I usually stretch or lay on my bed or go for a run or play video games or make a map for halo and that sort of stuff. Just do stuff that i like. Listening to music especially helps me, at least soft and light music. Classical music always helps too, although a lot of times i feel I am not in the mood for that Edited June 9, 2010 by 2401 I Hate Tangents Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryamB Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I usually go to the beach and tan while reading a book and listening to music. I also go for a swim sometimes (pool). It really helps. It helps keep my mind of everything, while I just chillax and read Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lishnaa Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 i watch youtube videos...however sometimes it gets the better of me because time passes by so quickly!I also find that drawing or journalling for art helps because it relaxes me reallywell while school work Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Polaris Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I watch hot girls. What I mean is, Wonder Girls and Girl's Generation music videos.other than that, read comics online, Cyanide and Happiness, music, come on here, play Unreal Tournament, play modern Warfare 2, go on facebook, youtube, 4chan (/b/ section only).Might not believe it, but another de-stressing thing I do is imagine. Imagine life after IB, life when I am successful, imagine myself getting into all sorts of universities, my uni life at that university, etc.Or sleep. Sleep's a good way to get your cortisol levels back down. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charizard Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Sleep. Eat. Go on the internet.(In order of importance and thus amount of time allotted) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I am not in IB yet, but when I am stressed...- write poetry- vent out my feelings to my parents- try to do something relaxing/fun Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilia Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I think the best way is to go for a walk, or even better, go running. Then your brain has time to deal with all information overload and you'll be much more concentrated afterwards. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Polaris Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 so far, music has helped the most. On the same level as sleeping/napping Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Glau Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm not in IB yet, but whenever I feel like I need a break, I do one or more of the following:- play the piano- go swimming- listen to music- watch TV/play video games- sleep Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkling Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Actually I listen to relaxing and hypnosis tapes.And yes, I know how that sounds! But when I feel really bad the only thing that can make me let go are tapes like that and afterwards I feel A LOT better. Have tried just listening to all kinds of music, but I just doesn't work as well for me. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss.malhi Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I like playing Pac Man. Hanging out with non-IB people is nice as well. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saransh Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Some of my IB friends live nearby, so I just call them up and hang out/chill at their place for about an hour max have have a beer or two (we're party people ) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black.Rock.Shooter Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I listen to music a lot. Not while doing something, but just sitting down and litening to it... though I don't have much time for that now, since I have a huge deadline coming my way concerning my EE Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
