It's already tough enough to juggle between schoolwork, different clubs and sports, and relationships. Finding time to take care of your mental and physical well-being on top of that can seem impossible. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy some tips for taking care of yourself when you may not always be your top priority.


Read or Write

This one may seem like a chore for some, but a book is a great way to feel a little more relaxed. If you are not a reader, then pick up a pen and write what you're feeling. Writing is a therapeutic way to deal with stress because there are no rules involved.


Draw

If you're not a reader or a writer, perhaps you are a drawer! Even if you're not very good at art, try copying something you see online. You may surprise yourself with paints or markers. If nothing else, print out some coloring pages, grab those colored pencils, and get to work.


Take a Nap

This may not be the best way to take care of yourself, but sometimes you have those days where the only thing you want to do is lay in bed and scroll through your phone. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't do it every day. Taking a one hour nap can make you feel like you can take on the rest of the day.


Meditate

This may turn a bunch of you off, but hear me out. Meditation is not always the monks that sit in a room for hours, meditation is a form of breathing. When you first begin meditating: sit in a room by yourself, put on some comfy clothes, light a candle that helps you relax, sit up straight, and close your eyes. You will take deep breaths and focus on your breathing, after about five to ten minutes, you will feel refreshed and revitalized.


Take a Shower or Bath

This goes hand-in-hand with meditation, as it is all about taking your mind off of stress and focusing it on something relaxing. A nice, warm shower with fresh towels or a bath with a new bath bomb or bubble soap, these are some of the best ways to de-stress.


Drink Water and Eat Your Favorite Snack

Watching what you put in your body is just as important as any other form of self-care. When you eat something good for you, you will feel better. If you don't want to eat something healthy, then pick up a glass of ice water and eat that cupcake!


So there you have it, a few tips for living a more stress-free lifestyle during the stressful school months. There are many more self-care tips, some very interesting, so there's much more to try other than those stated!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
