I hope this list will help you learn how to live your best life. Enjoy!

  1. Get More Sleep: This one may seem silly and incredibly obvious but I find that when I get more sleep, I am less stressed and down about life. When I really get a good night’s sleep, it sets me up for a better day.
  2. Spend Time With People Who Lift You Up: Surround yourself with upbeat and positive people, their good energy will rub off on you and will help you to live a better life. It is good to find people who can lift you up and support you when you need it the most. These people can come in the form of friends, family, or any other loved ones in your life.
  3. Stop Caring About What Other People Think: This one is hard but it is SO important because at the end of the day, the only person whose opinion matters about yourself is YOURS. It is YOUR life, live it the way that you want to. Be smart about it but as long as you are happy, it is ok.
  4. Spend More Time Outside: This can be as simple as walking to work, if possible, or just taking a second and sitting outside on a nice day. Enjoy the fresh air and soak up the sunshine.
  5. Put Down Your Phone: There are too many distractions in the world and phones are one of them, put it down and enjoy life. Notice the little things. Embrace what is around you. If you can, try to put it down for a little bit of time each day.
  6. Read a Good Book: Find a book that you have been meaning to read and sit down and actually read it. Find one that interests you and give it a try. Reading is a great way to clear your mind and enter the world of another person.
  7. Create a List of What You Love About Your Life: Write down the things about your life that make you happy, start with two or three and add to it as time goes on. You will be amazed at what can make you happy.
  8. Laugh: Laughter is the best medicine. It is always great when you laugh so hard that you cry from something that is so funny.
  9. Worry Less: This one is especially hard for me but I am working on it. I have realized that worrying is not worth it sometimes. Getting yourself sick over something so little is so unnecessary sometimes. Learning how to let things go is better for your health.
  10. Smile More: Smiling is the best way to make yourself feel better, smile and embrace life. Learn how to be your best self!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
