Make The Most Of Your Life

Become a better version of yourself each day.

Make The Most Of Your Life
The Grown Up Gap Year

In one day, there are 24 hours, 1440 minutes, and 86,400 seconds. There is never enough time in a day, though. It makes you wonder where the time goes. Each day is just like the day before. Each week is made up of the same tasks and responsibilities. Although not many of us will ever have a drastic midlife crisis, there comes a point in which we question what we are even doing with our lives. Cherish every second, and make the most out of life.

1. Breakfast

I know what you are thinking. "I don’t have time for breakfast!" Starting your day on an empty stomach can significantly influence your attitude throughout the day. Just remember that no one wants to be around you when you're hangry. Try waking up another 20 minutes early so you don’t have to eat on the run.

2. Time Alone with God

So often do I forget to hear my own advice! Start out by putting aside five to 10 minutes a day to spend with God. Cast all you worries onto Him, and reflect upon yourself by asking God to be with you throughout the day.

3. Random Acts of Kindness

Just because your day hasn’t been going well doesn’t mean someone else’s can’t be good. Knowing that you have helped make someone’s day a little brighter will, in return, brighten up your day as well.

4. A Pep Talk

In the words of Aibileen Clark, "You is kind, you is smart, you is important."

5. A New Hobby

Contrary to the popular belief that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, people at any age can find something new that they will enjoy. Whether you already have a hobby or not, I encourage you to try something new.

6. Dressing up

I have come to realize, during my 19 years of life, that the way we look somehow influences the way we feel about ourselves. When you look good, you feel good.

7. Hugs

Everyone loves a little lovin’. Getting a hug from that special someone can make you feel 100 percent better.

8. Change

This could quite possibly be one of the scariest words in the English language. If something isn't going the way you would like, change it! The solution most often lies within yourself. Change is often a good thing.

Honorary Roommate

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
