5 Ways To Obtain Perfect Relaxation

It is the end of the school year and the end of a DECADE. I am obviously stressed out dealing with Christmas shopping, final exams, work deadlines, and preparing for the 2020 resolutions I probably will not follow through with (let's be honest). How do I stay relaxed? Here are my top five tips!

Warm Baths

YESSSSS. I do not care what people say about baths. I like to clean up in a shower first then get into a warm bubble bath with the essentials; bath salts, bubbles, candles, iced fresh mint water, and a podcast/relaxing tunes. This sounds like a whole project but what I recommend is putting all this stuff near your bath so it is an easy set-up each time. Give yourself nights off to simply relax.

Writing

Journaling, typing, and creating art. Something mindful but does not take too much brainpower. Don't do it for others but for yourself. Keep a journal near your bed and have it be the first thing you do in the mornings and the last thing before you go to bed to release all thoughts and stress.

Meditation

It does not have to be for religious purposes but simply to focus on your breathing and state of mind. Keep your Phone notes near you are a notepad to write down whatever is taking up too much space in your head. Use it as a time of prayer if you want or too simply "zone out".

Yoga

Take up a yoga class, a hot yoga class, download an app, or Pinterest some moves! I recommend doing this in the mornings and mid-afternoons then getting a simple stretch in before going to bed.

Massage

Massages do not always have to be expensive and professional. I recommend professional at least once a month but that is not how it works for everyone. Research different ways to massage yourself or have a friend do it for you.

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.

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.
