Just a few tips and reminders to help you out.

1. Relax.

Stop tensing your shoulders. Relax your face. Breathe deep, and let your body unwind. Much better.

2. Drink more water.

Women need 95 ounces of fluid every day, and men are around 130. Reaching this daily goal will give you more energy, improve your metabolism, and have plenty of benefits towards your overall health.

3. Practice kindness.

It costs nothing and only improves everyone's happiness if you practice kindness everywhere you go. If you put positive energy into the world, it's sure to come back to you. Besides, you never know what others are going through.

4. Sit up straight.

Work on those abs of steel and your posture at the same time. You'll be perceived with more respect if you stop hunching over.

5. Get the right amount of sleep.

From improving your focus to helping you live longer, the proven benefits of getting a good night's rest are undisputed. I know that your essay is due soon, and you want to party it up while you're in college, but self-care has to come first every once in awhile. Take care of your long-term health by getting some shut-eye.

6. Be grateful.

No matter who you are, there is someone else who helped you get where you are today. Whether it be a parent, a significant other, a best friend, a teacher, or anyone else, this person deserves to be recognized. If you voice your appreciation, you'll make their day a bit brighter.

7. "IS THAT THING DUE TODAY?"

Check. Double-check. Then check again.

8. Make small, healthy choices.

Trade out that soda for water at dinner tonight, and take the stairs today. Continue treating your mind and body to small healthy habits, and you'll be surprised how good you'll feel in a month.

9. Confidence, confidence, confidence!

Have you ever heard of "Treat people the way you want to be treated"? Well, it's just as true that others will only respect you as much as you respect yourself. Walk, talk, and do everything with confidence, and no one will question you again.

Back to your regularly scheduled life.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
