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!

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

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.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

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.
