Waking up doesn't have to be so hard.

1. Say A Prayer Before You Even Get Up

For me, praying about my day before it even begins brings me a sense of peace, regardless of the challenges I could face. Although we aren't promised tomorrow, we were blessed with today and that's something to be grateful for.

2) Turn On Some Music

While getting up early can sometimes seem like the worst thing in the world, I've found that playing music instantly makes it hard for me to drift-off back to sleep.

3) Wash Your Face

Not only is this a must for your skin, but another opportunity to wake yourself up.

4) Drink A Bottle Of Water

I don't think you can ever drink too much water, so why not make it a goal to drink a bottle before you walk out of the door every morning? This is better for you and your skin.

5) Jot Down Your Daily Goals

Make a mental, or physical, note of everything you hope to accomplish that day. I always have a list of to-do's in my phone of what I'm doing and what I'll need for my day so that I can check things off as I go.

6) Eat A Good Breakfast

When you're running late and rushing out the door, it can be hard to make time for a decent breakfast. I, myself, normally grab the first thing I see in the pantry. However, when I do make sure that I have a good breakfast, my day is SO much better.

7) Make Your Bed!

While it is definitely not the first thing anyone wants to do as soon as they wake up, you'll be so glad you did when you return home and it's already done and tidy.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
