Spending time with yourself can be an unnerving thing, especially when you're used to having other people to talk and entertain you. Now, in the middle of a pandemic (crazy!) it can be really tough being with yourself all day. Here are some ideas to help feel more comfortable (and get you through the semi-isolation)!

Also it is important to remember that being comfortable spending time with yourself means being confident in being by yourself.

1. Treat yourself to something nice

Go online shopping for some new clothes or jewelry. Don't go shopping for someone else to see your chic new outfit, do it for you! Buy new clothes and model them in front of the mirror for yourself!

If clothes aren't for you, maybe a nice takeout dinner from a restaurant and your favorite movie or good book.

2. Start a new personal hobby

Instead of sitting around uncomfortable in your thoughts, go out and try something new or something you've always wanted to do. Is there a new recipe you've been wanting to taste? Or a hat you've wanted to crochet? Go for it!

3. Take a walk in solitude and listen to music

What better way to get to know yourself than by taking a walk around your neighborhood? You can listen to new music and enjoy the outdoors while thinking in your own thoughts!

4. Finish up chores around the house

Seriously! Cleaning and organizing can pass time as well as be something productive for yourself! Maybe you can listen to music and make it something fun for yourself! Plus, once everything is cleaned and organized, you'll feel more proud that you were able to make a space better for you!

5. Morning and night routines that are done alone should be fun

Getting ready for bed and waking up in the morning shouldn't feel like a chore. Instead, try and make it fun by listening to a set playlist to feel more confident before work or before going to bed! Incorporate something nice for yourself like a book or a fun activity.

6. Start a personal planner

Something that can make you feel more confident spending time with yourself is having a planner --especially ones with different 'activities' in them. You can write about your daily goals and what you plan to do. When making lists and plans that don't involve others, it can make you feel more comfortable doing things and spending time on your own!

7. Do whatever you feel!

If you want to go out to a movie or carnival with friends, but they aren't available, that doesn't mean you don't have to go!

Go anyways!

If you want to take an art class but no one is willing?

Do it anyways! Feel confident in being able to do what you want without others.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
