Whether you are a teenager, or a middle-aged adult, or even an elder, chances are, there are many ways to improve your daily routine and help your lifestyle. With a few small additions and adjustments, your life can become much more productive, healthier, and happier. On this list below are things that not many of us do, myself included, which we can utilize to enhance our daily lives.

1. Go to bed by 11 every day, or even earlier if possible.

2. Exercise every day. A light walk or jog will suffice.

3. As soon as you wake up, make your bed.

4. Do some light stretching in the morning.

5. Save a dollar (or more) every day.

6. Wake up one or two hours earlier than normal; you will be pleased with the time you have.

7. Limit your daily junk intake.

8. Eat within 200 calories of your daily calorie intake, calculated here. This is more for adults as opposed to younger, still growing people.

9. Try to avoid screens within one hour of waking up and going to sleep.

10. Stand up at least once every hour.

11. Read a few pages of a book every day.

12. If you do read a book, try to read one off this list.

13. Laugh and smile multiple times a day.

13. Drink a lot of water every day; this is possibly the most important and most improving thing you could do.

14. Listen to some classical music, or at least some other happy music if you can't stand classical.

15. When listening through earphones, use on-ear earphones, as they are better for you.

16. Learn a bit of a new language every day; this language can be a coding language too!

17. Analyze your current daily routine, and cut out any time wasting activities, or reduce them.

18. Do crosswords, word searches, sudoku, or a similar game to keep your brain sharp.

19. Limit or cut daily soda and coffee intake.

20. Say to yourself every morning "I will do great today and learn something."

21. Find a hobby you enjoy, and do it every day or every few days; some examples are chess, writing, or coding.

22. Do some yoga or meditation every morning or night.

23. Talk to or hang out with a friend or family member daily.

24. Look at life as an opportunity to enjoy yourself.

25. Be optimistic about every day.

26. Keep a growth mindset every day, and try not to ever change it.

27. Use an agenda or create a to-do list each day so you do not forget anything.

28. Work daily on any long term project or study for a big test every day.

29. Play video games in place of some of your daily TV, to make your brain more active.

30. Make a promise to do at least 20 of these every day.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
