10 Good Habits To Have In College
PEXELS

I have only been in college for a little while but I know having good habits are important. When in college, you want to minimize the number of bad habits you learn and replace them with something that helps you be successful. Here are 10 habits you should try in college:

1. Have A Bed Time.

Sleep is an important part of college. You may have classes early in the morning and you would not want to miss the class that is costing you a lot of money.

2. Eat Meals At The Same Time Each Day.

If it is possible, try to eat at the same time each day. That way, you can work around your meal time and not get hungry while doing your homework.

3. Take Notes By Hand.

I understand that it is easier to take notes on a computer, but writing the notes makes them easier to remember. You can always type them later after you write them.

4. Get Assignments Done Early.

The sooner you get assignments are done, the more free time you have. With that tie you can write, read, hang out with friends, and whatever else you want to do.

5. Wake Up A Little Earlier.

When you wake up a few minutes before it is time for you to get ready, it gives you time to think about your day. You get start your day off with positives thoughts instead of just getting up to get ready.

6. Make Your Bed When You Get Up.

Coming back from classes with a nice and neat bed can be so satisfying. All you have to do is lay down and close your eyes.

7. Keep Your Desk Clean.

Having a clean desk makes it more appealing to start working. When you have a neat space you can do your homework without any distractions.

8. Go Outside.

A little bit of nature can make any day go better and chances are your campus is probably beautiful.

9. Drink Water.

Staying hydrated throughout the day makes you feel better.

10. Make Time For Your Friends.

I know college make you busy but make time for the people who matter.


Hopefully, these 10 habits will make college life easier for you.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
