Some days life can seem like too much. Whether it’s work, friends, family, I mean it’s definitely family but other stuff could be going on, too. There are a lot of ways people choose to cope with stress. Do the words “Netflix and Chill,” ring any bells?

Some people also take up hobbies like jogging, knitting, or cooking. Some people take classes at their local rec center, maybe you’re one of those people who doesn’t care what they’re doing as long as they get some time alone. Also there should always be snacks available.

It can feel unproductive, or even lazy to desire time spent doing nothing, but everyone needs a chance to recharge their batteries at times. When that time comes there’s nothing wrong with lying back and enjoying a nice episode of Game of Thrones. Which is back by the way.

However, during times when your stress is through the roof and sitting in a big soft chair with a book just isn’t doing it for you, there are other options. Some people will get a massage, or even go all out with a spa day. This is even something you can do at home if your bed is big enough and you have a few bucks lying around to buy a face mask.

Some people prefer to go out, in which case you can gather up some friends and burn off some steam at a bar or club. If you want something more low key, well there are always restaurants around, or you could even go see a baseball game.

Everyone is different, so it’s really all about what works for you. One thing that seems to work with just about anyone though, is the soft cuddly touch of a fuzzy animal. You might have your own pet, but if you don’t and just need a quick hug, then you might want to check out therapy animals.
No matter what your parents may have said about body art growing up, most people reach adulthood knowing the truth, tattoos are cool. They can be a very strong form of self expression, one more powerful than simply slapping on a pin or walking around with a vague slogan on your jacket. They can also just be pretty cute or just plain awesome. Some people just pick something they think is neat and get it done, while others toss and turn for months trying to decide on the perfect design. Hopefully in the end, you wind up with something you’re happy with, even proud of. But some people don’t get quite what they asked for, or realize too late that maybe they should have just gone with a flower or a bird. Here are some of those people.
