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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
