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.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
