I know better than anyone how stressful college can be. On top of full-time college, I also work full-time. How do I do it? I honestly have no idea.

That being said, as stressed as you and I are, we need to remember to take care of ourselves. Lucky for you, here are 10 self-care tips you can do in the comfort of your own home!

1. Take a bubble bath.

Baths are universally proven to make anyone feel more relaxed!

2. Drink some wine.

Add a glass of wine to your bubble bath (if you're 21 and older of course).

3. Take a day off.

Your mental health is more important than you may realize. Taking one day off won't kill you.

4. Get a massage.

One of my favorite ways to destress is getting a massage. I mean, who doesn't like massages?

5. Play with your pets.

If you're lucky enough to have a cute pup or two, take advantage and play with them! Makes them happy and you!

6. Spend some time with your friends and family.

Don't forget the support system you already have right in front of you! Hit up a friend, hang out with your parents! Do something active that'll take your mind off things for a bit.

7. Read a book.

Escape reality by simply opening up a good book!

8. Clean your room. 

I know, I know. Who willingly cleans their room, right? Trust me, it's a great stress reliever. A cluttered space equals a cluttered mind. Plus, it's better than doing your homework, right?

9. Clean your whole house.

While you're at it, why not make your mom happy and just clean the whole house?

10. Take a nap.

When all else fails, take a nap. That's my favorite way to rejuvenate and forget about everything for awhile.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
