Though there's not much time to kill...
Sketching: we all have things that we spend our spare time on. For me one of them is sketching. As a kid, i loved to sketch anything intriguing i saw. Even now, it is the best stress reliever for me. Sketching offers a variety of benefits including decreased stress and stronger critical thinking skillls. "Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life." - Pablo Picasso. sketcking whenever i am feeling low improves my mood. You should also try it. Sketching doesn't require you to be good at it, rather it encourages us to just enjoy it.
Running: If you have a running hobby, you likely understands all of the joys it can bring to your life. It is same with me. Whether I run fast, slow, short distance or long ditances- the rewards are all the same. some people mistakenly assume that runners are all athletes. It is big misconception.For me running is fun and challenging. I enjoy running under the clear sky while admiring the nature's beauty. and the cherry on top...It keeps me fit ;)
Stationary Collector: I am a big stationary enthusiast. It doesn't matter how many diaries, notebooks, pens,post-it notes, highlighters etc I already have, if I saw something unique and cool, I am having it. Collecting and using these things have a different satisfactory feeling. And I won't forget to mention, it gives me motivation to study. This hobby helps me in maintaining order. with the ongoing battle with laptops, phones and i-pads, it offers me the world while also leaving me with a taste of nostalgia.
Reading novels: There's something about reading that you just can't describe. It makes me forget about the troubles in my life and helps me transcend into a different world. For example, I am a potterhead. I live through scene while reading it. And I probably remember every nook and corner of Hogwarts as if I've been there zillion times. Reading also improves concentration and gifts you with rich vocabulary. Reading is really about taking our lives and transporting it to a different world. And there are so many other worlds to visit yet....so what are you waiting for? Pick your book now.

It helps in reducing stress. while it may challenge me, it cna also make me feel relaxed. And what's the fun when it is not challenging enough, right? i often solve jigsaw puzzles in my leisure time.
