7 Ways To Treat Yo' Self This Summer

In This Article:

Whenever life is getting too crazy, sometimes the only thing you can do is to treat yo' self. A phenomenon that began with the show "Parks and Rec," in which characters Tom and Donna carelessly spend their money on their own pleasure and amusement.

Some people may think it's reckless, but a day of treating yourself does not have to be at the lengths that Tom and Donna take it because there many things that you can do to pamper yourself without the recklessness.

Go Shopping 

By going shopping with either yourself or with friends, you can buy an outfit that you never had the confidence to do so before or buy something that you always wanted to but never did.

Skin care

Taking care of your skin is very important but often neglected, so if you're feeling stressed you can do an either at home spa day for yourself or go to an actual spa.

Do something you've always wanted to do 

If you've been scared to do something for a while, or just haven't had the time, when you have the spare time, use it to try something new!

Clean

Cleaning can be very therapeutic in my opinion. Seeing a mess pile up over time and finally cleaning it all up and having a neat, organized space always feels calming.

Take a bath

Light some candles, turn on some music, and just relax in a nice, hot, bath.

Cook

Try to cook something new or one of your favorite recipes!

Go for a walk by yourself 

Sometimes to treat yourself, you need to just take a short walk by yourself to clear your head and to get some alone time.

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
