Now that the Fall semester is in full swing, school work has been piling up and deadlines are approaching faster than ever. With that being said, it is important that you give yourself a chill space to come home to amidst the chaos of your schedule. By putting in the effort to take care of yourself, you will flourish in all other aspects of your life. Whether you live in a dorm on campus, or in a bedroom at home, anyone can benefit from these easy ways to turn their space into a haven for relaxation!

1. Invest In An Essential Oil Diffuser

Our sense of smell has a strong influence on mood. Think about it – everyone has a favorite scent and certain aromas even have the power to trigger positive memories. Make your space seem instantly more appealing by using an essential oil diffuser. There are endless options of essential oils to choose from, and some scents like lavender and eucalyptus are specifically targeted for calming. Essential oil diffusers also make for great décor and will upgrade the aesthetic of your room.

2. Always Keep Your Sheet Mask Collection Stocked

In case you didn't already know, face masks are key to self-care. There is a mask out there for every skin type, and putting one on will force you to spend 10-15 minutes of your time sitting down and relaxing. Investing your time in caring for your skin will make you look and feel better, and will simplify your beauty routine in the long run as you take the time to correct skin imperfections now. You don't need to go out of your way or spend tons of money on a quality mask. Just stop by your local CVS and pick up some Masque Bar sheet masks. This brand is so affordable and genuinely makes a difference in the overall appearance of your skin. There is truly not more that you can ask for in a mask!

3. Purchase A Foot Bath

Using a foot bath is the ultimate upgrade for a DIY pedicure. Soaking your feet after a long day is a great source of relaxation and will keep your feet looking polished through boots season. By regularly using a foot bath, you will be less likely to neglect taking care of yourself and you will be motivated to maintain your pedicure throughout the fall and winter. Follow up your soak session with your favorite body butter and a cozy pair of fuzzy socks.

4. Slip Into Your Favorite Robe

Robes are not exclusive to just your shower routine. As the weather gets cooler, robes provide added warmth to your PJ set and are an overall great accessory to just chill in. Whether you wear your robe to lounge in or put it on over your outfit to do your makeup, having a quality robe is an essential that is too comfortable to go without!

5. Buy Potted Plants

Keeping those cute potted plants on your bureau are doing you more good than you think. Other than serving as aesthetically pleasing decor, plants actually release oxygen in your room. By acting as a purifying agent, plants improve the overall air quality that you breathe. Other than their health benefits, plants are also a great way to incorporate some elements of nature into your space. On a frigid Fall day when stepping out into the cold seems like a daunting task, get your fix for nature by watering your indoor plants!

6. Make A Relaxing Playlist

Just as scents have the power to influence mood, so do songs! After a hectic day, put on your favorite playlist to unwind for the night. There is nothing better than zoning out everything and listening to your favorite music after a long day of classes. After hours of boring lectures, putting on your relaxing playlist will be literal music to your ears!

7. Use A Nightlight

Before bed, put on a nightlight and shut off the main light in your room. Relaxing in a dimmer environment will help your eyes adjust to the dark and will get you ready for bed. Whether you are reading or watching a screen, the darker environment will put your mind at ease. For added aesthetic purposes, look for a light bulb in your favorite color to cast the light in the shade of your choosing.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
