5 Self-Care Tips For Midterms
Raegan Mc

We all know how stressful midterms can be. It's the worst time of year for any college or high school student. Being graduated and in college I now see it taking a toll on my friends and thought I should give out five self-care tips to anyone who is struggling with midterms. So sit back, relax, and take a breather from all the stress!

1. Take a bath!

This is one of the simplest and most relaxing things to do. Simply run a warm bath with some essential oils, light a few candles. Take a breather. Relax. Enjoy your break before you get back to studying.

2. Face Mask.

Whether its homemade or store-bought, face masks are a great way to relax, especially in the bath! So while enjoying your lovely warm bath, throw on a face mask and clear your skin of any dirt or impurities.


3. Calming music.

Frank Sinatra, Bach, Beethoven, etc. Personally, music helps me concentrate while doing schoolwork, but do whatever helps you most! So lay back and enjoy the calming sounds of music or any sounds that relax you.


4. Go for a walk.

Nothing is more relaxing than going for a walk on a cool fall night for a warm drink. So take your time, and be safe. Make sure to always have someone walk with you or have protection. It's a dangerous world.

5. Pray or meditate.

This one is pretty obvious. Prayer or meditation is an awesome way to calm yourself down and have some time away to your overwhelming thoughts.

Remember to keep going through all of this! I know its hard and you probably want to drop out, but I promise its all worth it in the end!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
