7 Self-Love Tips To Bounce Back From A Bad Week

We’ve all been there. It’s the end of the week and maybe it’s been little things that have just been piling up like you couldn’t find a parking spot on time, you forgot some answers to the quiz you’ve been studying days for, or you’ve just run out of your favorite beauty product and now you have to wait two days for it to arrive in the mail. Or is that just me? Regardless, a little TLC and some time to relax is really just what you need to recharge yourself.

Tip 1: E X F O L I A T E

Honestly, you’ll feel so much better shedding off all that dead skin. New skin, new you. There are tons of homemade recipes for scrubs too if you don’t feel like buying a pricey scrub.

Tip 2: Cleanse your face and put on a face mask

You can find some for less than $2 at Target or a packet of them on Amazon for $10.

Tip 3: Make yourself some tea.

It soothes the soul inside and out!

Tip 4: Take a walk.

Fresh air does wonders for the body and mind when you've been inside for too long. Plus, you get to appreciate the little wonders nature offers us.

Tip 5: Watch a feel-good movie you haven’t seen in a while.

Tip 6: Wear your comfy clothes.

Jeans are cool and all, but not as much when your plans consist of the couch and your favorite TV show.

Tip 7: Play some of your favorite music.

Sometimes meditation and reflection is a good way to move passed the things we can’t seem to forgive ourselves for.

In the end, it is always good to remember that one bad day does not mean it’s a bad life. Sometimes bad things happen more than good things, but it’s important to not dwell on the negativity and instead use that energy to make ourselves better versions of ourself. And a little self-love comes a long way in that journey.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?
