  1. I often eat a lot of junk food when I have stress. This makes me feel good at the time, but I know this is bad for me. It make me gain weight, and junk food doesn’t give me the energy I need. One thing I do to make myself laugh when I work or study is listen to a stand-up comedy album while I work. This makes me laugh regularly, though it sometimes makes it hard to concentrate. Maybe it’s better to listen during a break.

      1. I think stand-up by Louie C.K. is very good. I think you can find some of his videos with Korean subtitles on YouTube. I also like SNL. That is “sketch comedy” rather than “stand-up comedy”.

      1. Pizza is one of my favorites! I also love eating Nacho chips. But when I’m a good boy, I will just eat a lot of brown rice and homemade beans. This way I will not be hungry for junk food later.

  2. When I have stress, My bad habit is eat high calorie food. For example I eat pizza and chicken at 2:00 – 5:00 A.M

    While studing, I can call my family and friends. They are funny people, Clesry I can laugh.
