5 Hopefully Obvious Self-Care Tips For Near-Death College Students

Instead of treating yourself to milkshake, treat yourself to a goddamn shower.

Forget mud masks or treating yourself to a night out with friends. You know you don't have enough time to really give yourself the 'self-care' session that you deserve. So, do yourself a favor and follow these simple, painfully obvious self-care tips.

1. Take a shower

If you're like me, you just don't get how other people's self-care routines include hair masks, scented bubble baths, and edible face masks. If you have some time to spare, love yourself and try to cleanse yourself.

2. Change your underwear, like, every day, if you can

And if you're really feeling wild, try not to wear the same sweatshirt every day.

3. Wipe the drool off your face before you go to your 8 a.m.

I'm not saying you have to care about how you look, but come on now.

4. Remember to eat

Please keep in mind that if you don't eat, you will most certainly starve to death.

5. Do two jumping jacks

Exercising is a great way to improve your mood, but you're definitely not hitting the gym any time soon. The least you can do is get off your bed for once and do two jumping jacks or sit-ups to feel good about yourself.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
