Yeah I know, the last time you journaled was probably Mrs.McCarthy's third grade class. However, journaling can open your eyes to ideas realizations and aspirations. Keeping a journal to scribble down notes, or even just dreams can help you determine what you really want in life. Here are a couple of inspirational prompts.

1. Monday: Write five things you truly enjoy about yourself.

This social media driven society has taught us to compare ourselves to others. This prompt reminds us to step back and really appreciate what draws others to us.

2. Tuesday: If I had no fear today, what would I do?

Sometimes we stop ourselves from happiness because we're scared. This prompt lets us realize that some of our goals are very attainable, we just have to put ourselves out there.

3. Wednesday: What can I do to nurture my mind, body and soul?

This prompt pushes us to reflect on how kind we are to ourselves. It is important to take care for yourself.

4. Thursday: What is one thing you learned this week? 

Usually, we walk through life worrying about our future that we don't stop to recognize the little things.

5. Friday: What is the dominant emotion in your life right now?

This prompt is good when you're feeling down. It challenges you to look introspectively so you may deal with your emotions in a healthy way.

6. Saturday: Who made you feel good this week?

Yes, journaling is an independent task but you can still appreciate your friends while doing it.

7. Sunday: Dear ___, this has been weighing me down....

This prompt will let you release steam and feelings you have been too scared to say. Even if you never give this letter to that person, it's a good start to try to let it.

7 Things You Will Miss From Summer

Some things you will miss come December.

As August comes to an end, fall approaches quickly with Halloween candy and decorations creeping onto the shelves of drugstores just a little too early. It all happens too fast. Here's a reflection of all the things we are desperately holding onto as our summer comes to a close and classes begin:

1. That tan you worked so hard for.

That tan you started working on even before spring break will soon fade away as the UV index drops and the sun begins to set before that 8 o'clock sunset time you became used to all summer.

2. The comfort of throwing on athletic shorts and t-shirts.

How many times did you opt to wear those Nike shorts and t-shirts out and about? Those warm days that let you do that won't last for long.

3. Having all the time in the world to work and make money.

As the semester begins, your paychecks either will completely disappear or your work hours dwindle away as you now try to juggle classes, commitment to organizations, and social life into your busy schedule. Now it's time to be thrifty.

4. Traveling.

Those adventures out-of-town, out-of-state, out-of-country, etc. You were packing up and getting away just when your work week got to be too much.

5. Beach access.

90 degree days at the beach relaxing and watching dogs play in the water. Kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, fishing all the water activities you can think of.

6. Late-night drives with your friends from home.

You spent your summer finally catching up with your hometown friends and then soon enough you're parting ways once again. You promise to keep in touch better this school year.

7. Home-cooked meals.

There's nothing like being home and having your favorite home-cooked meals almost every night after you have consumed a less than desirable amount of meals from your school's dining hall.
