While in college I have learned that it's super easy to put your mental health on the back burner to focus on the numerous clubs you are involved in, a crazy class schedule and juggling a job as well. So it is very necessary to take a mental health day once in a while to treat yo self.

1. Stop stressing the simple things

Clean your room, buy a planner and call your mom. Being on your own for the first time, taking classes, working, managing your social life is a lot. Being able to manage the little things will make day-to-day struggles a little easier to manage. With a clean room, an organized planner and daily talks with your mom anything is possible!

2. Take time for yourself.

Go to Landis play with some pups, lay in the grass and read a good book. With such a busy schedule as a student, it is so important to take a little time each week to make time for yourself. Reset and get ready to kill the rest of the week, month and semester.

3. Drink A LOT of coffee

I basically live off of caffeine, so I’m a little bias but coffee is always a good thing. Take a friend and go to Starbucks, sit and sip on your Grande Iced Caramel Macchiato and conquer the rest of your day.
