21 Days To A Healthier Mindset

For most of us, move-in day is just about one month away. Can you believe it? Before then, take some time for you to get back into a clear, calm mindset. And in three weeks, you'll be ready to hit the ground running.

1. Pick out a book that you can read in a month. And actually stick to reading it.

Pick something that will add something interesting to your reading inventory and provoke some thought.

2. Clean out your closet and donate what you won't wear.

You're going to have to cut down anyways to get everything into a dorm wardrobe anyways.

3. Make plans with a friend you haven't seen in a while.

Believe me, it makes you feel so much better.

4. Clean up your social media accounts.

Good rule of thumb: if you wouldn't talk to them in person, then why do you follow them online? Also unfriend and unfollow anyone whose posts just make you angry, jealous, etc. Why keep putting yourself through that?

5. Write in a journal.

Don't think too much, just write what comes to mind.

6. Practice mindfulness.

7. Perform a random act of kindness.

I recently read about one great idea where you leave a sticky note on your tray in the dining hall when you bring it to the dish drop at school just saying thank you. I don't know about you, but I love that.

8. Clear the air.

Maybe combine with #3? Actions tend to speak louder than

9. Write a letter (key word: write, not type).

10. Go an entire day without checking social media.

It's HARD but definitely worth it.

11. Search Spotify for playlists you love, and even make a few of your own.


I recommend Discover Weekly, 2000s Pop, Sing-Along: 90s to Now, and Afternoon Acoustic. I complied songs for my own playlist for commuting back and forth to work...best decision ever.

12. Learn something new related to what you are studying in school.

My go to: TED Talks.

13. Learn something new completely not related to your field.

Also my go to: TED Talks.

14. Find a podcast that interests you.

There's literally a podcast for everything.

15. Get outside.

You don't need to be an athlete, just get some fresh air.

16. Go bare faced for a day if you normally wear make up.

It can be pretty empowering.

17. Draft out a morning and night routines.

And then try to stick to them come the new semester.

18. List things that stress you out or make you anxious.

So you know what triggers you.

19. Then, list ways you can relax and calm your nerves.

So you can start to tackle these obstacles.

20. Show support for someone who really needs it.

Because it's just the right thing to do.

21. Be completely spontaneous for entire day.

Just see where it leads you!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
