10 Things To Do To Give Yourself A Mental Health Day

We have now reached a part in the semester where we are slowly approaching midterms. Midterms brings a whole new amount of pressure and stress to the school game. So it is important to remember to take the time for yourself. Here are 10 things you can do to give yourself a mental health day.

1. Say NO!

Giphy

Do not get caught up in saying yes to everything. Sometimes its okay to take the time for yourself and that can start by saying no to others.

2. Find a favorite show. 

Giphy

Sometimes you need to just mindlessly watch something and not think about everything else happening.

3. Find a favorite Song. 

Giphy

For me it has to be anything from Hillsong United. So find your favorite song, album, or band to jam out to when you feel that crazy amount of stress.

4. Find Encouragement. 

Giphy

If its a bible verse, a quote or anything else find the thing that gives you strength to face the challenges ahead.

5. Find a community. 

Giphy

When you are surrounded by friends or family who what to see you succeed that make all the difference in the world.

6. Do a face mask. 

Giphy

This might sound so silly but for me it is probably one of my favorite things to relax.

7. Spend time with friends. 

Giphy

Take the time to make time for people you love. Sometimes that can be the best thing you do for yourself.

8. Be honest with yourself. 

Giphy

To make time for yourself you first have to admit to yourself you need to make the time.

9. Schedule the time. 

Giphy

For me I live by my planner. When you schedule in the time for yourself it is more likely to happen.

10. Have tine by yourself. 

Giphy

sometimes its okay to be alone. I am an extraverted introvert so I need time by myself to recharge.

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.

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.
