8 Things I've Done This Summer To Better Myself

In This Article:

This summer I have focused strictly on personal development and getting back into loving myself. Here are some things that have helped me...


Dyed my hair 

My hair was definetly due for a new color, so I dyed it black and got some blonde highlights in there.

Started a side hustle 

I now have a second job working from my phone and making some extra cash!

Podcasts

A week ago, I thought podcasts were the strangest things. Like who wants to listen to someone talk?? Apparently I did, one podcast and I was in love.

Wake up early 

Personally, if I worked at 4 pm, I would sleep until 3 pm because that is how bad my depression is. Now, I am waking up at 8 or 9 and starting my day and getting things done around the house!

Read a book 

I've been reading books that I can relate to. It just gets me out of my thoughts and out of my head for a little.

Watching my spending 

I think the biggest stressor for me is my money. I hate living paycheck to paycheck or knowing that I am almost out of money. I've cut down on eating out in order for me to have money in my account.

Put my phone down for hours 

Technology and social media is such a necessity in our lives. I've cut down my phone usage to make sure I am focusing on me.

Face masks 

A face mask helps me relax!

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.
