Why Taking Care Of Your Well-Being Is So Important

It is the second week of school and I am already loaded with textbooks and homework. In my head, college is humoring me and saying "Welcome back!". Along with my days jam packed with classes, I also work on campus making me feel like a crazed woman. But hey, gotta love the crazy college lifestyle ;)

I think it is so important as a college student to take care of yourself both mentally and physically. College is a great experience but can also be extremely stressful at times. You are stuck in a routine of meeting deadlines, studying, working, sleeping, eating, and repeating. Andddddd to add on to that? The stress!

While college is a time to meet new people and get involved, you must also not forget to love yourself and take care of your well-being. Stress is a silent killer and can get the best of you at the worst time possible. You'll be going, going, going and then bam. It hits you. It's so easy to put everything else before you when you're at college and have several other priorities. But taking care of yourself should be up there on the list of To-Do's too!

There is NOTHING wrong with taking a step back and doing something for you. You-time is so important. Whether it's going to get your nails done, getting your car washed, going to a yoga class, there is always something you can do to relax and take care of your inner self.

I think this is so important to do and be aware of now because in the real world, your life will be just as hectic, if not busier. One day, you'll be married and have kids and an actual job. Having to balance a million different things at once can be so difficult, but a LOT easier if you are taking care of your well-being and are in a good state of mind.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
