University life can be stressful, and these are some things I like to do to make my week the best that it can be. It is never a bad thing to tell someone you love them or try something new and exciting. There have been a lot of sad events that have happened recently, so remember to live your life to its fullest today, because you never know what is going to happen tomorrow.
1. Tell your family you love them.
2. Thank anyone who has made an impact on you.
There could be a lot of people that have made an impact on you but try and thank them. They might not even know that they have impacted you, so let them know that they made a difference in your life. It will make them feel really special, which will give you a good feeling.
3. Try something new.
Life is too short to sit around following a routine. Try something new, whether it is a food or an activity. Maybe you and your friends do something simple like trying somewhere new for dinner or something extravagant like skydiving or getting a tattoo. Take advantage of the life you are living. Tragic events are happening all around the world; don’t take your life for granted because you never know what could happen tomorrow.
4. Take a risk.
Like I said previously – life is short, try something new and take a risk. There are so many types of risks. Face your fear. If you are scared of heights, go rock climbing. Are you an introvert? Put yourself out there and go to a karaoke bar. If you take a risk, chances are you won’t regret it. Live life on the edge a little bit. If you do, you will never get bored.
5. Stay in touch with your friends.
Your friends are a vital part of your life. Stay in touch with not only your current friends but also friends from the past. When I talk to my friends, I am put in a good mood. It is always a great feeling to be able to just hang out and talk to your friends. If I am upset or annoyed, my friends are the first people I turn to, because I know that I will more likely leave the conversation smiling, forgetting what bothered me before.
6. Clean your room
There is no better place to live than in a clean room. If your room is clean and organized, then it will help to declutter your brain if you’re stressed. Cleaning is also a very relaxing past time. Every time I clean my room, I am put in an even better mood than when I started. Blast some music or a show and organize everything; put stuff back in its spot. You’ll feel great after.
7. Stay active
Go to the gym, go for a walk, or go play a sport. Whatever you do to stay active is healthy for your body which will lead to a healthy life. Staying active during the week is a great way to relieve stress or any built up feelings while also receiving a positive outcome. Staying active has a bunch of benefits, so take advantage of them.
8. Study away from your room
Last but certainly not least, study. I find it best to study in the library because then I will focus, however, I like to change up where I go. You should study every day, but if you don't, try at least once a week, and study somewhere new. Not only does it give you a chance to explore your school or town a little more, but it might also give you a feeling of freedom because you aren’t stuck in one place.
