11 Ways You Can Take Care of Yourself in 2017

At the end of every year I come up with a few resolutions that I want to follow. Usually, it includes going to the gym, eating better, all that typical stuff. This year I decided instead of making these resolutions that I stop following by February, I want to take better care of myself in 2017. Here are some of my self-care goals for the upcoming year.

1. Drink more water.

And stop drinking things like soda and iced tea.

2. Go to yoga more.

It's worth it to take about an hour to relax and stretch.

3. Go to bed earlier.

No more randomly staying up until 2am.

4. Learn to cook.

Actually this time.

5. Put my phone down.

Stop caring about what other people are doing on social media.

6. Read more books.

Rather read a book than my Facebook feed.

7. Get more organized.

Although I have a planner, I want to take full advantage of it.

8. Be more positive.

Look on the bright side of things more.

9. See friends more often.

Make more plans and do more things.

10. Spend meaningful time with family.

It's important to create memories with families that last a lifetime.

11. Have me time.

Just sit back, relax and have some mental health time.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
