Five Self-Care Tips To Celebrate The End Of Finals
Brunch News

Some days, you just need to get out of bed and spend a little more time on yourself. Since finals are (at least nearly) over, here are some things to do to treat yourself.

Channel your inner Tom Haverford.

We don't all have the money to go on a real spa day, but buying a nice face mask and lotion for later in the day is definitely something you should splurge on. A nice manicure wouldn't be so bad, either.

Drink a smoothie.

Nothing's better than a smoothie. It tastes like candy, it's cheap, and you're being healthy.

Have a good cry sesh.

I'm proud to say I haven't cried since I went off to college (Almost 5 months - a new record!), but I probably could do with shedding some tears. My friends and I decided we would watch either Charlotte's Web or Bridge to Terabithia, since those are the only two movies that have ever made me cry.

Carbo-load.

I'm not gonna lie, I pretty much only eat bread and potatoes. Every single lunch I've had at Bruff for the past three months has been a baked potato with a side of potatoes and a bread roll. My freshman fifteen isn't coming from drinking too much, it's coming from carbs. I've been really happy lately, though, and I really think it's the potatoes.

Clean EVERYTHING.

Honestly, cleaning is my favorite way of relieving stress. It's productive and makes me feel like I'm somewhat decent at this adulting thing. Plus, this includes taking long showers, and who doesn't love that?

If you can drag yourself out of bed, these self-care tips are amazing. Of course, staying in and watching Netflix all day works, too.

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.
