With the semester reaching the halfway point and classes catching up in school work from all of the snow days, it naturally becomes a busy time of year. We tend to forget these five important things in our life when we quickly begin to lose our free time.

1. Breathe

Our day to day schedules sometimes tend to get overwhelming, and we feel like we might not even have a second to breathe. Remind yourself to quickly take a deep breathe if you feel yourself getting lost in the madness.

2. Sleep

I cannot express how IMPORTANT sleep is. Never feel that you do not have enough time or hours in the day to sleep or let alone take a nap. I promise you, you always do.

3. Eat Healthy

Remember what you put into your body is what you get out. Make sure you eat three meals a day, with at least some fruits and vegetables at every meal.

4. Time Management

No matter HOW busy your day may be, always schedule some time for yourself. Whether you are taking a quick nap, going to the gym, watching an episode on Netflix, hanging out with your friends for a little or calling your parents, know that there is ALWAYS time for YOU!

5. You Got This!

We are humans; we are not perfect. We make mistakes. Live your life to the best of your ability. Know that you are capable of any overcoming any challenge that comes your way!
