It's OK To Check In On Yourself Too

When's the last time you checked in on yourself?

We go about our days going to class, doing homework, going to meetings, going to our clubs/organizations, etc.

Everything happens so naturally that we barely even think about what we are doing. We do so many things for others, but we don’t take too much time for ourselves on a day to day basis.

There are days where we just need to slow down, sit and reflect.

We think, “I don’t have time to take time for myself.” We are constantly busy with so many other things.

When we get so busy we get stressed out and it can affect our mental health. Sometimes we forget to make sure to check in with ourselves.

Instead of always asking other people “How are you” ask yourself that question.

Nobody knows you better than you. Happiness is having good pleasure, good fortune, and contentment. Always love the people around you, your friends and family, but don’t forget to love yourself.

Loving yourself is very important and can help yourself confidence grow and help you on a day to day basis.

Although you need to appreciate all of the people in your life and you should never give up on someone. You should never give up on yourself as well.

Always be thankful for anyone who enters your life, even if they do you wrong or if they are just in your life for a short period of time. Everyone crosses paths and is put in each other’s lives for a reason.

Don’t spend your time thinking about what other people think of you because it isn’t worth it.

One of the most important things is what you think of yourself. Be happy with yourself and be proud of who you are. Don’t be what other people think of you or what other people say you have to be.

If you are happy with yourself and if you love yourself, other people will love you for who you are.

Most days we don’t even think about how we are doing. Sometimes we don’t even realize when we are happiest.

Although it is good to reflect on the hard times, it is also important to think about all of our happiest times.

At the moment, we might not even realize how we are feeling. Later on, it is always good just to think about our day and see if we would do anything different or not.

Making sure we keep up with ourselves is one of the most important things and easily forgotten.

Everyone needs to remember to take a few minutes and really ask ourselves how we are doing.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
