Give Yourself A Break

Because everyone needs a little time to themselves.

Give Yourself A Break

In a world that is constantly go, go, go, we are often too overly engrossed in every little thing we do. Go to school, go to work, get lunch with friends, work out, catch up on emails, check Facebook, post an Instagram, keep up a Snapchat streak, do your homework, make it to this meeting, go here, go there and so much more. People these days are always on the move and have so much to do in so little time. We are too obsessed with trying to please other people, we barely have enough time to please ourselves. But before we can make other people happy, we need to take the time to make sure we, ourselves, are happy first.

Here are some ideas to take time out of your day and give yourself a break:

1. Ride your bike.

2. Go for a run.

3. Cook something you saw on “Tasty.”

4. Read a book.

5. Draw in an adult coloring book.

6. Watch your favorite show on Netflix.

7. Go get some ice cream or frozen yogurt.

8. Do something different with your hair.

9. Organize your room.

10. Paint.

11. Write a letter to an old friend or relative.

12. Plan a vacation.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure you make the best of it because this is your time and no one else's.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
