Stress Relief

I find that writing stuff down tends to relieve stress. Lately, I have been bogged down by the stress from work and trying to finish my degree. Those that know me well know that I do not venture out on the weekends often. I am often a recluse, spending my weekends at home with my two dogs and cat. It is my time to relax and allows me to forget about the things that cause stress in my life. At the same time though, I have found that maybe going out a little more would be good for me. Take this weekend for example. I had an extremely stressful week at work and decided to go out with some friends last night; drank some beer, watched people do karaoke, and danced to some wonderful country music with beautiful women. I genuinely had a lot of fun and it made me realize that I need to be more sociable with those that I am friends with. So from now on, probably not every weekend, but maybe every other weekend, I plan on going out and enjoying a night with those I consider friends. I think it will be good for me because let's face it, sitting at home by myself is only fun and relaxing for so long.
