As summer fades into a memory, you’re probably feeling a weird mix of excitement and stress as the new school year kicks off.  While the return to school means seeing your favorite pals and getting into your usual hijinks, it also means the return of dreaded homework and tests that can send even the chillest student to feel like their brain is melting. That is why it is crucial to find stress relief throughout the school year.

Hanging out with Friends: Making memories that will last a lifetime

One of the most potent stress-relief elixirs the doctor prescribes is quality time spent with friends and family. You see, when you’re in the middle of that crazy exam season, it’s easy to get lost in a whirlwind of deadlines and the looming cloud of grades. Pause for a moment and think about this: your schoolwork will eventually melt away, but the sweet memories you create with your friends will stick around forever.

But why is hanging out with our favorite group such a powerful stress-buster? Well, it’s like sprinkling happiness all around! Social interaction reduces the pesky stress hormone cortisol and pumps up those feel-good endorphins.

Skip the silent movie nights and explore new places, play games and dive into interactive adventures.
