During spring break i spent a lot of time with my family and i spent a lot of time working on my school work. The reason why i spent so much time on my school work was because i had three exams, a paper and a debate to prepare for the following week. At first it was very hard to stop doing what i was doing to spend a little time with my family, i had to find a place where i know that i will not get distracted by my little brother and his friend. I had to plan my days ahead in order for me to stay on tract and get everything done in time.

I tried to do what i can to enjoy the break but i could not because i had a lot to do. I studied for my exams and i got all my homework done and that made me so proud of myself. I know i should not have spent that much time on school work, but i could not help it. I felt like it was my duty to work on things that i had to and take care of things that i know will help me with the exams. But i am glad i was on break because i got to celebrate my mother's birthday before i went back to school. I got to enjoy some quality time with her on her birthday. When i got back to school, i took the exams and i am glad that i spent as much time as i could on them when i was on break.

Overall, i am glad that i got to rest a little and get as much sleep as i can. I also spent time with my family, i enjoyed being i their company and i cannot wait for Easter break so i can spend more time with them. Next time i hope that i will spend more time with them than i did during spring break.

Whenever you are feeling low and anxious, just simply GO OUTSIDE and embrace nature! According to a new research study published in Frontiers in Psychology, being connected to nature and physically touching animals and flowers enable children to be happier and altruistic in nature. Not only does nature exert a bountiful force on adults, but it also serves as a therapeutic antidote to children, especially during their developmental years.

If there's one thing I'm absolutely terrible at, it's giving myself grace. I'm easily my own worst critic in almost everything that I do. I'm a raging perfectionist, and I have unrealistic expectations for myself at times. I can remember simple errors I made years ago, and I still hold on to them. The biggest thing I'm trying to work on is giving myself grace. I've realized that when I don't give myself grace, I miss out on being human. Even more so, I've realized that in order to give grace to others, I need to learn how to give grace to myself, too. So often, we let perfection dominate our lives without even realizing it. I've decided to change that in my own life, and I hope you'll consider doing that, too. Grace begins with a simple awareness of who we are and who we're becoming. As you read through these five affirmations and ways to give yourself grace, I hope you'll take them in. Read them. Write them down. Think about them. Most of all, I hope you'll use them to encourage yourself and realize that you are never alone and you always have the power to change your story.

Were all teenagers and twenty-somethings bingeing the latest "To All The Boys: Always and Forever" last night with all of their friends on their basement TV? Nope? Just me? Oh, how I doubt that.

I have been excited for this movie ever since I saw the NYC skyline in the trailer that was released earlier this year. I'm a sucker for any movie or TV show that takes place in the Big Apple.

How Young Feminists Can Understand And Subvert The Internalized Male Gaze

Women's self-commodification, applied through oppression and permission, is an elusive yet sexist characteristic of a laissez-faire society, where women solely exist to be consumed. (P.S. justice for Megan Fox)

Within various theories of social science and visual media, academics present the male gaze as a nebulous idea during their headache-inducing meta-discussions. However, the internalized male gaze is a reality, which is present to most people who identify as women. As we mature, we experience realizations of the perpetual male gaze.

Open-mindedness. It is something we all need a reminder of some days. Whether it's in regards to politics, religion, everyday life, or rarities in life, it is crucial to be open-minded. I want to encourage everyone to look at something with an unbiased and unfazed point of view. I oftentimes struggle with this myself.
