Mental health should be one of the most important priorities in your life. Here are 10 things that you might want to interest you in to help with your mental health.

1. Having a nice cup of tea!

Amazon

Enjoy a nice cup of tea. Tea can help with calming the mind and can help when it comes to anxiety. I recommend Harney & Sons African Autumn. To me, it is a relaxing tea and is caffeine free!

2. Starting a bullet journal!

Facebook

A bullet journal is a way just to organize your thoughts and have everything written out. When you write out your thoughts in a organized way it can help organize the thoughts in your mind.

3. Eating healthy and delicious food!

Facebook

Food, food, food. It is so important to watch the food that you are eating. There are so many energy boosting foods that can help boost your mood such as dark chocolate, bananas, etc..

4. Just walk it out!

Sometime you don't even have to buy anything to help deal with your mental health. Simply taking a walk, and breathing in outside air may be what you need to collect yourself.

5. Curling up with a coloring book!

Amazon

Investing in a coloring book is something very helpful. Coloring is a way to get your mind off things, relax, and even just be a kid again.

6. Investing in a diffuser!

Amazon

Getting an oil diffuser may just be the right thing for you! An oil diffuser has helped many people fall asleep when their mind is racing and helps relax. This could be something to invest in if you have anxiety that keeps you up at night.

7. SLEEP!!!!!

Oh how we love free thing such as sleep. It may not be as easy for everyone but just getting some sleep can honestly help so much. Sleeping helps re-energize your body, your mind, and makes you feel much better.

8. Reading a good book!

Amazon

Buy yourself a good book that can help when it comes to your mental health. Buy yourself a book that helps with what your dealing with and gives you advice on how to deal.

9. Getting some exercise!

Getting in some exercise and getting into a routine does go a long way. I have read once you get into a good routine it can help boost your mood, it takes your mind of certain things!

10. Just talking.

It is helpful to find someone you can talk to and express yourself to without any judgement. Try to find someone who actually cares about what your are expressing, this can go a long way.

Dealing with your mental health doesn't always cost too much, but taking care of yourself should always be essential.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe.
