We all have those weeks. You know the ones I'm talking about, the weeks where it's already been the longest of your life and it's only monday... yeah those.

When you get to the end of a long stressful week, the best thing you can do is participate in some relaxing self care techniques!

It's the best way to de-stress and treat yourself at the same time. Here are a couple of my personal favorite things to do.

Workout

For me personally, working out is one of the best ways to de-stress. I recently joined a local kickboxing organization, and I'm in love with it! I would definitely recommend doing some research and finding out what kind of fitness environment you enjoy being in and getting involved in something!

Cook a Healthy Meal

Sometimes when we have a tough week, we can fall off the wagon with our diets. I really like to come home and cook a delicious healthy meal for myself to kind of get myself back on track and feel better in general as well.

Clean Your Room

Cleaning always puts me in a better mood. There's something about crawling into bed with fresh sheets in a clean room with a candle burning, that is just magical.

Take a Bubble Bath

Dim the lights, light a candle, and add some bubbles. Paired with a face mask and a glass of wine, can it get any better?!

Call a Friend or Family Member

When all else fails, call mom! Or whoever your go to person is when you are feeling down. Especially if you're in school, or living away from home, sometimes a phone call with someone you love and miss can make all the difference.

Those are just a few of the things I like to do at the end of a stressful week. Always remember that it will get better and everyone has those weeks! Keep your head up and practice some self care!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
