Relaxation and revamping is something we all need to do every once and a while. Whether it be after a long week, stressful situation or just the feeling of taking on too much? Take a load off and set aside a personal day. We all need to take a personal day to keep ourselves sane from our crazy lives. Here are some signs that you need a personal day:

1. When you wake up and the first thing you think about is going to bed that night

2. When you've hit your caffeine limit for the day, yet your body is shutting down

3. When you've become numb to a serious or stressful situation because you don't care about the consequences anymore

4. When taking a hot shower is the most exciting part of your day

5. When taking a nap doesn't fulfill the sleep deprivation you have been trying to cope with for the last few days

6. When a night-in of watching netflix, alone in the dark sounds better than going out with your friends

7. When you're having 'one of those days' where everything that could go wrong, goes wrong

8. Having to force yourself to do your makeup or style your hair because you have to leave the house for work or school

9. When no matter the time of day, you just want it to be over

10. When no matter how many times you distract yourself with your phone, watching tv or your computer, you find yourself even more unmotivated

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin.
