Assignmet 25 - Maddie klumb

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am a person who gets stressed often and easily. I find that constantly moving helps me relieve some stress (so bouncing my leg, tapping my foot, picking at my nails etc.). Through this, I have discovered that activities like needlepoint and cross stitch help me to relax (and I get the added bonus of giving people gifts when I'm done so what's not to love?). I also use dance as a stress reliever. I dance 20 hours a week and going to the studio gives me a safe place to express whatever I may be feeling. It also allows me to take a break from whatever is stressing me out and forcibly removes me from the situation of studying or overthinking the large test I might have the next day. I also turn to reading as an escape from the daily stress, and lose myself in the made up (or even historically accurate) worlds I find in books.
