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.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
