Have you ever found yourself feeling overwhelmed with school work, bills, etc? Or you have a period of time when everything is going wrong? Let's not also forget to mention those times where you went days without showering because you been so busy and barely had enough time to breathe. In this article I'm going to tell you guys a few different ways I find little ways to find some sort of peace or satisfaction.

The first recommendation that I feel that is necessary to start with is to start with a routine. I know that it might be a hard thing to stick to because it can be demanding they might be or even boring for some to stick by. When I say routine it can be something as little as waking up at 8 AM, eating breakfast, showering, doing something you enjoy doing, and then head to classes or maybe even some type of bedtime routine. Picking up a new hobby could also play a role here as well, like maybe taking a yoga class.

Everyone loves getting to sleep in a little. One way I find a way to gain some more beauty rest is having all of the things I need already packed and ready to go in the morning. When I say this I don't mean like just your bag, I mean your outfit and depending on who you are even your hair. Getting extra sleep beats having to rush around to get everything together and ready before leaving.

Lastly, make sure that you have everything you have to do and all the extra activities in some type of planner or something. Punctuality is always going to be key and you don't want to accidentally forget about a lab or a due date. Plus the satisfaction of having a place where everything you have planned and scheduled all laid out. It would also help you find some time to invest in some you time!

Life is very stressful and sometimes it seems like it's impossible to catch a break, hopefully, some of my tips can help you guys find a little peace in certain aspects of your lives and help you find some clarity during this stressful season that is approaching quickly. Always remember and try to find time for you because your sanity is very important.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
