Reclaim your summer

It’s still sunny season...and the livin’ should be super easy, right? Except it just hasn’t felt that way. Here’s how to slow things down so you can *actually* bliss out for what’s left of this break.

SUNNY STRESS #1

YOUR CALENDAR’S ZANY

School’s out but somehow your planner ended up more packed than ever. No wonder you feel as fried as an egg on July asphalt.

SAVE YOUR SUMMER: Feel like break has been more frenzied than fun? Time to prioritize. A summer science class that will up your chances of making honors next year? Keep it. Not grooving on beach volleyball, but joined a league because all your friends did? Quit—and cheer from the sidelines for a few games instead.

SUNNY STRESS #2
