provides a sense of balance and self-esteem, which can directly reduce anxiety and
depression. Recreational activities help create a balance between academic pressures

Recreational activities are often done for enjoyment, amusement, or pleasure and
are considered to be "fun". Recreation consists of activities or experiences carried on
within leisure, usually chosen voluntarily by the participant – either because of
satisfaction, pleasure or creative enrichment derived, or because he perceives certain
personal or social values to be gained from them. It may, also be perceived as the
process of participation, or as the emotional state derived from involvement. Students
like you, especially in higher education, now spend most of your time with college
friends and outside of home for various purposes and work. Hence, in the current
scenario, the best place to include recreational activities in your life is your place of
education rather than at home. This not only provides a chance to include recreations in
your life, but also helps you to socialize and become less dependent on your parents.
