12 Things That Will Make the Perfect Nighttime Routine

Having the perfect nighttime routine is essential to college students. It helps you wind down and helps you fall asleep easier. If you have a stressful day, this will be the list to read.

1. Go for a run

Running while the sun is setting is the perfect way to start your nighttime routine. If you are not into running try yoga or another outdoor activity. Or just simply watch the sun set outside.

2. Light some candles

Ladies, we all know Bath and Body Works candles are the candles to light. Having a nice fragrance fill the air is just lovely on a night in. And the dim lighting from candles is relaxing as well.

3. Use bath products you won’t normally use.

Try a sugar scrub or bath bomb when in the shower or bath. They smell great and do wonders for the body.

4. Play a relaxing playlist.

On Spotify there are thousands of relaxing playlists to choose from. This will go perfectly with a soothing bath.

5. Have sheets that are fresh out of the dryer

Nothing is more satisfying than warm washed sheets waiting to be slept in. After a shower, warm sheets are going to be your best friend.

6. Apply a face mask.

Face masks just freshen up the face. They are also fun to apply with friends. If you take a bath, apply it before, and you kill two birds with one stone. My favorite ones are from Sephora and they’re affordable too!

7. Moisturize your skin.

Although using a nighttime cream may be frightening for when you’re young, it will do wonders for your skin. Whether it’s a face cream or a body butter, moisturizing is crucial for your skin, especially if you shaved.

8. Put your phone and laptop away.

Having your group chat blow up is something that you don’t want to deal with in your relaxing nighttime routine. With your phone being away, you can clearly think. Other than playing music, your phone should have no other use.

9. Give yourself a manicure or pedicure.

I find painting my nails relaxing. Doing it at home also saves you money and time. So next time you’re at the store, pick out a fun color to paint your nails with during a night in.

10. Have a bottle of ice cold water by your bedside table.

I love drinking ice cold water before bed and placing it bedside is convenient. You’ll also have it for when you wake up in the morning.

11. Change into a nice pair of pajamas. Finding the ultimate pair of pajamas is practically like finding your soulmate. Slipping into your best pair of pajamas will make you feel incredible and probably cute at the same time.

12. Plan out what you will do the next day or rest of the week.

Having a goal for the week is important. Having plans makes life a bit easier too. Using a planner is helpful or if you’re like me, just having a mental calendar in your head is useful.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
