In this day and age, society is training us to wake up, make money, and be successful. While these things are things we should all strive towards, they should not be our main motivators to wake up each day. We need to take a step back and become in sync with ourselves. These easy tips will motivate you to wake up with the intentions to be the best you possibly can.

1. Wake up at a reasonable time.

If you're aiming to rejuvenate yourself, don't make yourself suffer. Give yourself a reasonable hour to wake up to every day but early enough to kick-start your day. Keep this time a constant, whether it is the week or weekend. This will ensure a healthier sleeping pattern.

2. Drink water.

As soon as you wake up, you should drink water. This kick-starts your metabolism and gives your body clues that you are waking up. Ultimately, this makes waking up a lot easier.

3. Stretch.

Getting out of bed and moving around wakes your body up and prepares you for the day ahead.

4. Take a hot shower.


Taking a hot shower is the perfect way to start off a relaxing day. Use a pleasant smelling body wash and put on some jams to relax. Take your time on this step to really relax.

5. Eat a healthy breakfast.

Eat a filling breakfast full of proteins to give you energy for the day. An example of a healthy and energizing breakfast could be as simple as eggs, toast, and berries on the side.

6. Exercise your brain.

Use your time while eating breakfast or after breakfast to wake your brain up. Read a chapter of a book or write a list of things you need to do during the day. Doing this will prepare you for your day and keep your brain active.

7. Do something you enjoy.

The final step before your day begins is to do something you enjoy. This step is almost always overlooked and replaced with work, school, or other responsibilities. Make time in your morning to do something you love. This will make you happy and motivate you to do the things that maybe aren't so fun throughout the day.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
