how do I solve this nullException in main method ?

When I tried to run the main method for the pomodoro application it throws a nullException. The problem is on the line 15 : 

public class Main extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        // Load the font
        Font.loadFont(getClass().getResource("/fonts/VarelaRound-Regular.ttf").toExternalForm(), 10);
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/fxml/home.fxml"));

(the problem is on the Font.loadFont....)

I dont know how to fix it. I tried being specific on the path but it doesnt help. could anyone help me out here so I can move on? thank you

I think I know what's going on. Try marking the "resources" directory as an actual Resources directory that IntelliJ understands.

For this, go into File -> Project Structure... -> Modules. Then click the "resources" directory in the list, then hit "Resources" in the "Mark as:" bar.
