6 Tips To Staying Motivated After Midterms

So midterms are finally over (YAY!) but now your burnt out and just want the semester to be over forever. Unfortunatley, this is only the halfway mark and finals are slowly creeping closer. Before you lose your mind check out these tips to stay motivated until winter break!

1. Plan Your Day

Pretty planners are a great way to stay on top of everything. Having school supplies you enjoy using is going to make you use them more often! Plan out your entire day in a planner and you'll never miss another meeting or assignment.

2. Go On A Shopping Spree

Don't spend all your savings but do invest in yourself. The second half of the semester is a great chance to revamp your style and have a fresh start.

3. Improve Your Diet

Eating healthier will improve your skin, your immune system, and your mindset on life. Skip the junk and fuel your body with nutritious foods that will give you lasting energy.

4. Get More Rest

With a busy schedule comes a lack of sleep, but your body needs to recharge- especially after midterm exams. Do yourself a favor and stay in instead of partying and feel the difference the next day.

5. Read New Books

Self help books are a great way to stay motivated but if they're not your thing try any book that inspires you. My favorite self help book is You Are A Badass and #GirlBoss. My friend, Tim Mason's, new book A Principality of Bullets is available on Amazon now!

6. Do Your Work Where You're Motivated

I am more productive when I take my work with me to a coffee shop. The caffeine and the quaint atmosphere create a comfortable working environment. It's also keeps you from feeling down because your surrounded by other people who are also doing work alone!

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
