Whether it's school or work everyone needs a day to themselves. I have truly struggled with simply unplugging myself from life since I have enrolled in college. If I am not working, I am at school and if I am not at work or school, I am doing homework. Before college I would go to the movies with friends or take road trips to see bands. I have done little of this because it requires me to unplug. We are in college; we need to unplug from “responsibilities” for mental health days.
Take a bubble bath.
Whether it is an actual bubble bath or a bath bomb, take an hour or so out of your day for yourself. You can light some candles and bring in your book (no textbooks allowed).
Get your nails done.
This trip can be a relaxing trip alone or with friends. However, if you go with friends make sure there is no talk of school or work! Tip: pick a fierce color that will make you feel fabulous throughout the week.
Binge-watch Netflix.
Many people look at this as a bad thing, however in small doses it can be refreshing for someone. It allows you to unplug from reality. Watch all the "Grey’s" you want for a short period of time!
Take a work out class.
This could be yoga, a spinning class, or simply just going to the gym. However this is one of the best ways to treat yourself with time. Your body and mind will greatly thank you for spending a little extra TLC on it. If you start taking a little time out of your day or even once a week you will be thankful you did!
Get crafty.
Sometimes releasing your inner glitter goddess can bring out the sunshine in your soul. Bake an angel food cake or create a nicely painted canvas. I am not good at either of these but you might be!
Have your favorite movie marathon.
Mine is Harry Potter but this can be whatever your heart desires. Take a night to have cocktails and popcorn. Tip: puppy snuggles make this extra fun.
Get a night of adequate sleep.
In college this doesn’t happen often. However take one night where you actually get enough sleep. You will also thank yourself for this.
Get your week started with Sunday Brunch.
Its Sunday right before your week starts all over again. Take time out of this day of studying to have a Mimosa or a Bloody Marry.
