The semester has come to a close and if you are anything like me, it is easy to get so stressed and forget to take care of yourself. We get caught up in everything we are doing and trying to get everything done we often don't put ourselves first. But, you need to remember to do these certain things for you.

Slow Down

We have so many deadlines we are trying to meet that we are constantly in a rush. Don't let life pass you by, take the time to slow down and relax.

Have Some Alone Time

When everything is hectic taking time to yourself is always a good idea. It could be watching a movie, reading a book, taking a nap, or even just taking an extra long shower to just have time to be alone with yourself.

Remind Yourself to Do Better Next Time

We just took our finals and you might not have done your best. But, instead of dwelling on a bad grade just say to yourself "it's okay, do a little better next time."

Eat & Drink More

Having such busy schedules leads to not being able to fit the most important things in. FOOD AND WATER. Don't skip meals and always stay hydrated. This will give you the energy you need and keep your mood up.

Smile & Laugh

Speaking of keeping your mood up,smiling and laughing will automatically boost your mood. You have to be so serious and go into focus mood, but don't forget to give yourself a break, laughing is a great stress reliever!

Imagine yourself as a glass of water. Everyday you pour and you pour yourself out. But, in order to keep going you have to keep refilling your glass because you can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
