8 Self-Care Tips To De-Stress Your Life
Wall Paper

As college students are lives are full of tests, papers, readings, and constant studying. But within our busy lives, we need to remember to take care of ourselves. Here are just a few tips on how you can de-stress.

1. Exercise.

Every time you either go on a run or even just go on a walk, your body releases these amazing energy-boosting chemicals endorphins.

2. Meditate.

Breath in......breath out. Relaxed now?

3. Put on your favorite face mask and watch a movie.

Cozy up in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine. What could be more relaxing?

4. Organize your life.

Schedule in some R&R time for yourself, write out everything you have to do by the hour and it will help de-stress your life tremendously.

5. Take a bubble bath.

Throw in a bath bomb from Lush, light some candles, and play some relaxing music.

6. Hang out with your friends.

Have your own private dance party and jam out to your favorite song with your friends. Trust me; it's the highlight of my day when my friends and I do this.

7. Eat well.

You shake that salad, Kim.

8. Take a nap.

Make sure you're getting at least 7-9 hours of sleep a night which I know is difficult being a busy college student. Even throwing in an hour nap within your schedule can help jump start the rest of your day.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
