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!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
