How painting can heal you.

During these tough times in which we haven't been free to live our lives to the fullest, where our plans have been postponed, our routine has completely changed and we weren't able to travel, to go to concerts, to the theatre, to meet our family, to go out for a pizza or to go to a mall with our friends, it's only when your routine changes and you are alone with yourself that you start thinking about what to do during your free time!

Creativity in every form can allow you to keep your mind strong and to tackle a stressful time, as the Covid pandemic has been!

Being creative, is the perfect way to escape from the news, the numbers of CoVid patients that the TV fills us all up every single day.

It's free, it's healing and it saves you without knowing!

You don't need to go out of your house, but still, you can create landscapes, existent natural places, or magical scenarios only evading with your brain. Put on some music and let the creativity that is in you inspire you and lead you to a peaceful mindset.

Creativity can save you,

creativity can bring joy to your grey afternoons,

Creativity can make you happy,

Creativity is the best way to fill up your daily routine!

Are you creative? Do you have a hobby? Sure you do! You all have a creative soul, you just need to explore it! Dance, sing, write or paint, each of these hobbies can bring you happiness without being aware of it.

This last year has been kind of tough for everyone, all over the world. While we were in a lockdown, I spent my afternoons with a canvas and some brushes in my hands, and my day got brightened!

I have been painting for ten years now, but I've never realized how painting can really heal you, can relax you, can relieve you, can change your humor!

Painting allows you to calm your inner peace, to let go of all the problems during the day, to drive away negative thoughts. You need some inspiration to create something beautiful, a landscape, a portrait, a still life, an abstract image...it motivates you, it brings you joy!

Even if you are a beginner, it doesn't matter! Get started! There's no right or wrong in panting, whatever it is it expresses your feelings and gives emotions to the viewer.

Get a canvas, a drawing sheet, and some brushes with colors, and start painting! You won't know how creativity can heal your soul, relax your mind, and can change your life!

"Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
