Well, i took a year off College and instead of being a normal human being and going travelling i locked myself in my room and played games, watched awesome shows and anime, and basically became a vegetable. It was quite enjoyable, and it was 100 times more enjoyable than travelling in my opinion. I even learned to code and made some small games. The first game i made i called it dick butt: The revenge.

Then after that year of being a loser i made my way back into college like a normal human, got a job in less than a week after my first class, started going out and being a normal human again.

These NASA scientists are making a big deal out of nothing. ALl you need to bring with you is a portable hard drive with a shit tone of anime/shows/movies and porn. But they won't ever do that because they are professionals who would rather combat, "the lack of open air and the monotony" by complaining about it in reports, sending those reports to psychologists and then the psychologists probably telling them to try some exercise.
