Self Care Is The Best Care

Why self care is so important?

Self Care Is The Best Care
Harley Ann Kearney


Everyone says that in order to be happy with someone else you need to be happy within yourself. People say to take a weekend getaway or take a vacation, that it'll solve all your worries and you'll be back as new. But sometimes you just don't have the time or the money. Self-care is taking the five minutes at night to wash your face. To take off all of the days worries, put on a nice set of pajamas and moisturize your face.

Self-care isn't always an expensive shopping trip it's waking up, making your favorite cup of coffee and sipping it outside before you have to go to work. Self-care is taking time to say in the mirror that you're kind, smart, important. Self-care is reminding yourself that you are loved and you are beautiful. Self-care is drawing a bath and sitting in it for an hour with a good book. But getting lost in the words and not realizing how long you have been in the tub.

You need to remind yourself that you are important, to take care of your soul, mind, and body. Cause you only have one. You need to crawl into bed and sleep those extra hours, to pour yourself a nice glass of water, to eat a salad, but make sure you spoil yourself with chocolate. Don't forget to rid yourself of toxic people, toxic vibes, toxic jobs, toxic environments.

Don't forget that you are kind, you are important and you are smart.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
