How To Recuperate After A Stressful Week

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!

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.

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.
