25 Things You Can Do On Your Self-Care Sundays
selfcaresessions

As a college student, it seems impossible to get straight A’s, manage a part-time job, be involved in clubs, find internships and have a social life while still getting eight hours of sleep every night.

At the end of every week, I find that I am totally exhausted and the only thing I want to do is lay in bed to recover from the lack of sleep. I know that most of my peers can relate. I first heard of “Self-Care Sundays” from a model and YouTuber, Iskra Lawrence.

The term piqued my interest and I decided to try it myself. It has been a few weeks and I have found it to be one of the best things for my health--both physically and mentally. Here are some things you can do for your own Self-Care Sunday, because you deserve it:

1. Sleep In

2. Wash Your Sheets

3. Work-Out

4. Get a manicure

5. Get a pedicure

6. Get a massage

7. Take a steamy shower

8. Use a hair mask

9. Use a face mask

10. Moisturize

11. Shave/wax/tweeze/thread

12. Take a bubble bath

13. Read a book

14. Meditate

15. Meal Prep healthy foods for the week

16. Make a healthy snack

17. Make an unhealthy snack

18. Watch your favorite Netflix show

19. Shop online

20. Write in a journal

21. Stay Hydrated

22. Turn your phone off

23. Drive with the music up and the windows down

24. Do yoga

25. Lay in bed and play your favorite playlist on Spotify

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. 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.
