6 Simple Steps To Almost Put Your Life Together

Do you ever feel stressed? Do you ever feel like you don't know what you're doing in life? Feel like you don't quite yet know how to adult properly? Maybe you even feel like you don't have your life together. Well lucky for you, I have some simple steps to help you feel like you have your life together, even if you really don't.

1. Wake up early

Take this tip in small doses. I'm not saying go from waking up at noon to 8 a.m. I'm saying to work in baby steps. Start with noon and then try 10 a.m, 9 a.m, 8 a.m, and so on. The earlier you wake up the more productive you will have felt at the end of the day.

2. Don't lay in bed all day

Waking up early just to lay in bed until 1 p.m won't make you feel productive. Jump out of bed right when you wake up and start your day.

3. Clean your room

I don't know about you but looking at a messy room makes me feel more stressed and a clean room makes me feel a little more put together.

4. Paint your nails

If thats your kind of thing. Whenever my nails are done I feel like it's 80 percent more believable that my life is together even when its really falling apart.

5. Make a To-Do list

Making a To-Do list helps me feel less stressed. But make sure you actually complete the tasks. Not completing the tasks can only add on more stress.

6. Dress nice

This one goes along with number four. Look good feel good, ya know? Its all a part of faking it until you make it.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
