* go on a quick walk or run!

* there are good yoga videos on Youtube that are 5-30 minutes long, just enough time to give your mind a break! some of my favorites are 

Quick Stress Fix - 5 Minute Sequence (5 minutes)

Yoga For Focus & Productivity - 10 min practice (10 minutes)

12 Min Yoga For Brain Power | Yoga With Adriene (12 minutes)

Stress Melt - 26 Min Yoga Break | Yoga With Adriene (26 minutes)

* draw something! 

* watch youtube or a quick episode of the office (ONLY ONE EPISODE I KNOW IT’S HARD) 

* tidy up the space you’re working in! This can help you clear your mind and come back with more focus. 

* go get a snack and water—always make sure to stay hydrated! 

* call a relative or friend who you haven’t seen in a while (especially college people, talking to someone you love can be such a stress reliever, and you always have the excuse that you need to study in case the conversation goes on too long. you can also complain to them)

* dance party—my personal favorite. great stress reliever. 

* watch a cool TedTalk or numberphile video!

Fun Facts about Trinity College
