After finishing my sophomore year at university, I was ready for a break. As a university student, I was constantly worried about course deadlines, lab work, and job commitments. After the semester, I traveled back home and turned off my student brain to relax for a while. I decided to take a stroll in nature, and all the stress hormones, cortisol, and adrenaline, which seemed to stock up during this totally weird college semester, just disappeared. It turns out that you cannot entirely turn off the student's brain and so here I am researching the biochemistry that resulted in all my stress hormones dissolving and the sudden surge of happy hormones after spending some time in nature. Seems totally unreal when nature can set up a complex set of reactions that just makes you feel happier. So when you feel overwhelmed, I recommend taking the aid of our mother nature. Mother nature to the rescue!
