Playing video games is a good way to spend your free time because you can learn new skills. Also because sometimes, many students are very stressed out or are dealing with anxiety and it is a good way to kind of cool of and take times to themselves. While some people may disagree with this, playing video games can increase your IQ and can help you in moments you need help the most. And sometimes its just nice to cool off and do the things you enjoy and take pride in!
