10. Clean Your Room

It may sound simple, but cleaning your space can reduce stress and anxiety. Once you clean your room, you'll not only have done something nice for yourself, but you can start a routine of cleanliness that you can continue in the future. It can also help you feel more organized and help you be productive in other areas of your life, like schoolwork.

9. Read A Book

Sitting down a reading a book is extremely productive. It can be hard to sit at home and not watch TV and scroll through Instagram all day, but it can be good to unplug from all of your electronics for an hour at a time and unwind.

8. Do Some Yardwork

Pull some weeds that have been an eyesore, or mow your lawn. Cleaning your yard could make it more inviting and encourage you to spend more time outside.

7. Cook Something Healthy

You've got the ingredients, Google has the recipes, make something you haven't made before. Not only is it educational, but it can benefit other people as well as yourself.

6. Ask Your Family If They Need Help

Helping others can be the most productive thing you can do. It benefits yourself and others while also giving you something to do at home.

5. Take A Shower

Self-care is extremely important, and it can be hard to keep up when you're sitting at home all day. Taking a shower is the most simple step in self-care and being clean can be the easiest way to be productive for someone with very little energy.

4. Watch Something Educational

Learning something new is quick, easy, and can be done through Netflix. Watching a documentary about something you know very little about is another easy way to be productive without having to leave the house.

3. Make Something

Doing crafts is not only relaxing, but it can provide a physical outlet for relieving stress. There are DIY crafts all over the internet and many of the crafts can be very useful for later.

2. Spend Time With Your Pets

Animals are proven to reduce depression, stress, and anxiety. Not only is spending time with animals good for you, its good for the animals as well.

1. Download A Workout App

Apps like BetterMe, 7M Workout, and DailyYoga are all great options for at home workout apps. They require no weights or equipment, just five to twenty minutes and space for the workout. Exercise is one of the best ways to feel productive and exercising at home can be ideal for people who can't go to the gym for whatever reason.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
