It's the moment we've been waiting for since August. Mid-terms are over, the workload is dying down, and (for a small period of time) you have actual time for yourself. Wondering what to do with yourself? Here are 10 things that are, for the most part, productive and are sure to lead to your success as the semester finishes out.

1. Re-organizing your life (AKA your dorm room)

Coming back into your routine will be much nicer with a fresh start. Move around some furniture, vacuum those crumbs out from under your desk. There’s nothing nicer than a clean workspace to finish up the semester in.

2. Finding or making a new playlist on Spotify or Apple Music

Tying into this ‘starting fresh’ theme, bring some new music into your world. Whether it’s a playlist to help you study (I highly recommend classical) or work out, having this resource will make you feel much more confident coming out of your mid-term blues.

3. Catching up on your sleep

Some well-deserved z’s are in the near future for your hard-work.

4. Swapping out your clothes

Yes, Summer is over. No more crop-tops or sundresses thanks to Autumn’s impending chill. Use this time to pick out some new boots or scarves to warm up your wardrobe.

5. Actually going to an event without feeling guilty about your workload afterwards

We’ve all done it. The little fomo monster resides in all of us. But now that mid-terms are over, you can go to that show or festival without worrying about what productive work you could (should) be doing instead.

6. Re-organizing your life part II (clean out your computer files)

Your procrastination has most likely resulted in stray documents your desktop screen. But don’t worry: folders are a beautiful thing. Set yourself up for success to finish out the semester by organizing your files into folders for easier access later on.

7. Finishing up that season of Game of Thrones

I won’t pretend like you haven’t been binge watching your recent Netflix or HBO show, but at least now you can do it without that nagging sensation in the back of your mind telling you no, not one more episode.

8. Catch up on all the friendships you’ve ignored while your head was stuck in a textbook

Grabbing lunch or having a three-hour-long Skype session is now a-okay! Find out all about what’s been going on in their lives and, if their mid-terms are still in full-swing, use that time to be a source of encouragement for your pals.

9. Restock on your food

Stress-eating is real, and so is the freshman/sophomore/junior/senior 15. Now that your mid-terms are in the rearview mirror, it’s time to refill your food drawers with some fall-themed goodies.

10. Cry happy tears

...because mid-terms are finally over! Woohoo!

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. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
