I'm thinking of hanging out at a friend's house more often
Is it related to your studies?
No it isn't related to my studies. I need to take some time away from home due to stress.
That's understandable.  It is nice to have friends you can hang out with.
I know, my friend is very dependable.
It is good that you can depend on your friend like this. It will help keep you sane and have someone to confide in.
