Male Female

Lately, I've been feeling really exhausted and stressed after a hard day with my academic subjects at university. So, I'm looking for the best way to relieve stress among three options: talking to family members, doing physical exercise, or listening to music. I personally believe that listening to music is the best option for the following reasons. First and foremost, listening to music provides me with a relaxing and peaceful moment to escape from the frustrating and demanding moments from my university studies. And besides, listening to music allows me to reduce my levels of anxiety, isolation, and depression, especially when I've been struggling with my classes, like recitations, research, assessments, and so on. I find listening to music much easier to do compared to other methods for coping, and it gives me a better mood to focus on my studies, which is very effective and productive. Additionally, listening to music provides me with a natural habit and improves my memory. I enjoy listening to it more and more until I memorize every bit of the music. On the other hand, talking to family members is not a bad idea. However, it can be a big inconvenience when these people are busy with their jobs or studies. Therefore, they might not have sufficient time to provide me with the help I need. Some suggest doing something else. Similarly, physical exercise is only working for my personal status, which is not good for my health. In conclusion, listening to music is the best option for me among the other two, as it's much easier, more relaxing, and provides natural habits.
