The "Self-Help" book trend has taken off and we are HERE for it. Self-Help can be anything from personal growth to relationships...really anything is written about being mentally healthy. While you are relaxing this spring break, pick up one of these and refresh your mind before heading back to school.

1. Girl, Wash Your Face

Rachel Hollis tags the title "Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing Lies About Who You Are so You Can Become Who You Were Meant To Be." In each chapter, she discusses a lie she has believed and her journey to get over them. Rachel tackles tough topics like "I Should Be Further Along By Now" and "I Will Never Get Past This."

Using her messy life as a test case, she teaches you how to how to live a more productive and enjoyable life.

2. The Universe Has Your Back

Gabrielle Bernstein's beautiful writing describes how to turn your "fear into faith." Her book focuses on the energy we put into the universe and how it reacts to us. Life is going to change and everything is going to happen for a reason. She has secrets to reveal and hopes to unleash your power to present to the universe.

3. You Are A Badass

"How To Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life" Sound pretty amazing, right? Jen Sincero is a successful author, life coach and motivational speaker. If you're looking for a different perspective on how to develop a more positive outlook on life, this is the book for you. She digs deep into our unconscious thoughts and beliefs and how to guide yourself into the life yourself.

4. You Are A Badass At Making Money

Jen Sincero writes a spin-off of her first novel by putting an important financial twist on it. You Are A Badass At Making Money discusses how to get out of negative relationships with money and how healthy financial mindsets lead to a more stress-free future.

5. Why Men Love B*tches

Last, but certainly not least, Sherry Argov wrote the bible of relationships for single (and taken) women. This is a woman's guide to how to hold her own in a relationship.

Very insightful with a lot of humor, the novel answers questions like, "Why do men take nice girls for granted? Why does a man respect women for standing up for herself? Why is he only interested in the beginning?"

This book not only provides analysis of a man's part in the relationship but it also talks about what it means to be a strong, independent, respectful woman in each relationship. A must read!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
