We are constantly thinking of ways in which we could better ourselves. We think and think but we never really do. Here are some things you can follow to better yourself overall.

1. Read everyday


Although college students do this on a daily basis it's always good to pick up a book of your liking.

2. Learn a new language


You may be monolingual or bilingual. Either way, it's always fun to pick up another language even though it's just the basics.

3. Get out of your comfort zone


Whether it's talking to a stranger or speaking up during class, be courageous every day and watch how much you grow as a person.

4. Mediate


We all need to relax sometimes and forget about all our problems and I have learned that meditating works wonders. Start with 5 minutes a day and continue progressing more and more. You will feel the difference!

5. Avoid negative people


The less negative people in your life the better! Surround yourself with positive people those who support you and motivate you every step of the way!

6. Let go of the past


Letting go isn't easy. At some point in our life letting go of the past is the best option. Is it the easiest? No. But we need to move on with our life and focus on our future.

7. Learn from your friends


We all have different experiences and face different struggles and who better to learn from or ask for advice other than your friends?

8. Overcome your fears


We are all afraid of something and little by little we should overcome our fears.

9. Wake Up early


Start your day when the sun comes up! You will feel a lot better and get a lot more done during the day if you do so! Also, it beats waking up in the late afternoon because you miss all the sunshine.

10. Start a journal


Memories are good why not write them down? Write down your favorite thing, not so favorite things, and things you want to do again.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
