Ten ways to give yourself break.

Give Yourself A Break

So the holidays are finally over. Everyone can finally calm down and go back to their normal every day routine. So why not take a break for yourself? Well how can I do that you ask? Here's 10 ways to take a break.

1. Stay away from self criticism. You are always your own worst critic.

2. Give yourself a physical break. Skip the gym today. One day won't kill you or mess you up.

3. GIVE UP THE ALCOHOL. I know, I know. You're young and should do all this stuff, but what is wrong with taking a break and drinking a glass of water?

4. Skip the fast food. Go home, make some grilled chicken and a salad. Yeah yeah yeah it takes more time and you're hangry.

5. Spend more time on your hobbies. Write, sing, do a little dance, knit for all I care. Take some time to spend on your hobby and things you enjoy.

6. Take some time to give to your religious beliefs. There's always more to learn about something you strongly believe in.

7. Loose the cell phone for a day. Simple as that.

8. Sleep in. Take a day just to just sleep. It's literally one of the best feelings in the world.

9. Drop the judgmental side of yourself for a day or two. Sometimes we judge others to make our self feel better. But you'll never imagine how nice it is to just worry about yourself instead of judging others.

10. Make a list of goals for yourself. So what if you spent the day in bed, you deserved that break. But know that setting goals for yourself can make life easier. Now let's not set unrealistic goals. But maybe even if its just a goal of organizing the closet in a week.

Give yourself a beak because you deserve it. We burn our selves out on the little things and sometimes and its hard to remember that we all deserve a break.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
