10 Things You Can Do To Improve Your Life
Natasha Trivedi

Sometimes, life can bring people down a little. Don't sweat it, it happens to the best of us. Even though we can't control the universe, we can all make little changes to improve ourselves and our moods. Here are some little things that will change your life for the better.

1. Have healthy habits.

This may seem irrelevant, but taking care of yourself helps you feel better in so many ways, and being healthy will make your life longer and better. You will physically and mentally feel better, and your body will thank you for that. the more you take care of yourself, the more you'll want to do it.

2. Surround yourself with positive people.

Don't hang around people who bring you down. It's not always easy to cut them out, but in the long run, it is beneficial and will make you so much happier. Having true friends who make you feel better about yourself will not only make your life much easier, but you will be so much more happier.

3. Focus on yourself instead of others.

Yes, Having people who love you is an amazing feeling. However, your opinion of yourself is the most important. So, instead of worrying about what others think, pay attention to what YOU think.

4. Have a daily routine.

This will make you more efficient, as well as more focused on the things that really do matter, like getting important work done.

5. Make time for your loved ones.

Besides yourself, your family and close friends are the ones who love you the most. Love them back and never forget that they will always be there for you.

6. Engage in activities that you love.

This is a simple concept- don't do things that don't make you happy. Of course, sometimes you might not have a choice, but when you do, only do what you love.

7. Don't compare yourself to others.

You've probably heard this several times, but it's a universal truth. Stop comparing your bloopers reel to others' highlights.

8. Make time to relax.

If you don't, you will without a doubt stress yourself out and give yourself unnecessary problems. Avoid this by giving yourself some "you time", which brings me to my next point.

9. Give yourself a good pampering.

This will not only provide you with comfort but also with an escape from reality. Whether it's physical or mental pampering, whatever makes you feel better works.

10. Love yourself.

You are beautiful, funny, smart, kind, and exciting. Love yourself with every bone in your body, and that love will exude and and take in happiness into your life.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
