Homework: My Unpopular Stress Reliever
Something about doing school work has always brought major relaxation to me; it gives me something to focus all my attention on and really put a lot of thought and effort in, all while benefitting me educationally, which makes me feel like I'm doing good and working hard for myself. I love writing papers or reading chapters in a Psychology text as a way to get my off of my personal problems. Schoolwork usually has a negative connotation, it's viewed as just another thing that needs to get done and often is a huge source of stress. I totally understand that and I've definitely had moments where homework WAS causing my stress, however, I like to think that it can also be used as something that makes me feel better and motivated, and it's a nice reminder that I'm working towards my degree and no one can take that from me!
Anyone else enjoy homework or something similar? Or do you use something else that is typically not viewed as a way of relieving stress?

I totally agree ! I tend to find great relief in doing homework as part of me just loves being productive. Once I get really into it, it's like I can stop. And homework always presents itself like a challenge, so it ends up becoming fun to complete it. Another one of my stress relievers is my job and being productive. Turning mundane tasks into positive energy does wonders :)
I would love to feel this way about homework xD the only homework I can do without complaining (much) is Math, it's just simpler to do than essays of any kind where you have to think hard xD
Great post, great words.
I dunno why so many people blame homework, there is no better remedy from stress than hard work, and homework can substitiute it successfully. I was surprised to find out that there is no homework in Finland and some other counties and educational systems, I always loved doing home assignments being a student.
When I graduated from highschool to college my class amounts reduced and my studying habits changed to last minute readings. First I was happy to have so much free time but later I realized less homework and class means more time to stuck in your head and increase your anxieties. I never knew that I would wish for a homework..
I always enjoyed learning, both in and out of the classroom. While I hate exams and papers, I generally liked studying; it really helped distract me from my anxiety and depression.
@Peyton17 I wish I had this attitude about school work! I procrastinate and then get anxiety because it isn't done.

Some people find it very boring, But once we start doing it in a way no other student approches, it's a lot beneficial. (aa secret of how to love doing homeworks :)
Well, I can say that I have always had problems with my homework. Sometimes I don't have enough time, sometimes I'm just not in the mood and don't want to do my homework. So as not to degrade my college grades, I started ordering homework from the same service with Physics Homework Help Online AssignPhysics.com. I think that's pretty helpful if you feel the same way.
