My Top 25 Brain Breaks
The life of a science major can be overwrought with purely school-based activities if you let it. I found that it was paramount to set aside time to recharge and take a break from the intensity of school-work and class. Below are the most common ways that I would spend my time taking short breaks from studying. I suggest that you make your own list of break activities to fall back on when school gets to be too much, and maybe add a few from my own list!

Do yoga
Learn a new skill on youtube

Make a new Spotify playlist, and then possibly dance to it :)
