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.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
