The scent sets the mood.

For me, essential oils and an aroma diffuser are an essential part of my self-care routine. Here are my Top 3 go-to essential oils that I use on the daily. You don't want to miss out on these!


1. O'Linear Natural: Deep Breathe Blend

This is my absolute favorite. The Deep Breathe Blend is a combination of peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and lavender oil. It is perfect when you are feeling anxious and just need to take a breath. Putting a couple drops into my Asakuki diffuser throughout the day or in the later afternoon when I am feeling anxious, and pairing it with some deep breathing, helps me feel more grounded.


2. O'Linear Natural: Serenity Sleep Blend

The Serenity Sleep Blend is great for those who have trouble winding down to go to sleep. This oil is a blend of lavender oil, neroli oil, sage oil, orange oil, and tangerine oil. I use this oil almost every night. The calming scents help me get comfortable and make the atmosphere feel very relaxing. Sometimes I even apply this to the temples of my head (dilute the oil first and make sure you don't get it in your eyes).


3. O'Linear Natural: Easy Mood Blend

The Easy Mood blend is my go-to during the day, especially if I have had a rough day before. The Easy Mood Blend is a combination of bergamot oil, lemon oil, lime oil, and grapefruit oil. This scent reminds me of happiness! It makes the air feel a bit more fresh and makes the mind feel at peace. The balance of all the different oils helps restore the mind and calm the invasive thoughts.

I bought all of these essential oils, as well as the diffuser, off of Amazon. I highly recommend using these oils and the diffuser to help achieve a more clear, relaxed state of mind. These are just my Top 3 favorites, but there are 6 in total that come in the pack. Incorporating essential oils into my self-care routine has been a pivotal point in decreasing my anxious thoughts and creating a better mind space. I hope you give these a try!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
