Comfort Things

When I'm stressed I like to be comfortable. If my life sucks at least let me feel comfortable while getting no sleep and failing a test. I don't care how ugly you think Crocs are, they save my life every time I spend six hours in the photo lab developing my film and photos, all of which must pretty much be done standing up. Give me my sweatpants on an early morning day of class, I'll shower and change afterwards. I want a nice cup of tea with honey and a biscuit or cookie if I'm up late trying to concentrate, or if I'm stressing out and need sleep. Things that offer comfort will always be something that is sought after, not always available but highly sought after. Like plumbers, they have recession-proof jobs. Everyone poops.

One of my most comfortable and relaxing things I like to do while studying is have a coffee or tea beverage and something to snack on. And if I'm at home, a blanket and lots of pillows-I LOVE pillows. My house will be full of them! The coffee perks up your spirit and focuses your brain, the snack gives you sustenance, and the blankets and pillows hold you up when you accidentally fall asleep.

Another thing that is essential to studying is classical music. Sometimes I you do need silence but if you like classical music to begin with it'll probably work. I like listening to the radio because along with the music there is the pause in between songs where the host says something, which breaks up the music if it it's becoming monotonous. I also like the radio instead of iTunes for classical music because it's not directly coming from in front of me and the radio I have is not in arms reach of where I study so I don't have to worry about changing the song or choosing a play order or adjusting the volume. The radio has this wonderful thing that happens during classical music too, although the sound is clear and not muffled there is a softer white noise that comes through and acts as a balancer and drowns out all the tiny sounds that are easily noticeable through your computer like page turns. It's just the tiniest bit far away sounding too, like you're really listening to a lie recording from seats you can only afford because you get a student discount.

On the note of pillows, here are some one's I adore!
