Hey everyone!

I'm new to sdn, but have been a long-time lurker. I'm a sophomore currently attending Penn State University completing my undergrad and am over my head with all these rigorous science credits this semester. For anyone else in the same boat for that long journey into dental school, I thought it would be nice if we could all share tips and advice of how we relax and what you guys do on breaks while studying for an exam or do in your free-time to take some of the stress off your shoulders. School is really important, but I think that everyone should take a breather every once in a while.

Personally, some stress-relievers I really like are:

• Cooking and baking
• Video games (WoW, League, and occasionally Minecraft)
• Doodling
• Sculpting
• Jogging

Anything that involves improving manual dexterity is a plus 😀
Please feel free to share some ideas of your own!

I've recently started knitting. I wouldn't say it's stress relieving just yet, but it's time consuming and makes me not able to stress or boredom eat. I also watch YouTube videos, watch movies, draw, listening to music, sing, play video games, read, and sleep.

How often do you fish oil? I am thinking of taking up fish oiling too...not sure if I have the time.

Nothing like stomping noobs with people watching to release some stress.

True if you're a raider. I never raid- just random battlegrounds with friends. Do you like PvP?
