Go Ahead, Celebrate Yourself!

Celebrate yourself, it's not selfish.

Go Ahead, Celebrate Yourself!
Arizona Quintana

I think one of my many mistakes is not celebrating myself and doing things that I've always wanted to do by myself. If you're like me, you forget that sometimes you need to take time to do something for you. You are always devoting yourself to other people and sometimes forget that you need a rest every once in awhile. Here are some ways to celebrate yourself!

1. Go get some food

I know this is obvious (who doesn't like food?), but go to a nice sit-down restaurant, sit there, and have your favorite meal. Don't be afraid to eat by yourself and enjoy your own company.

2. Bath time

Turn off your phone, run the bath, and get a cute little bath bomb to help your worries flow away. Along with all this, turn on the most relaxing music you have and just enjoy. You deserve it.

3. Buy something

It doesn't have to be expensive, it can be as cheap as $3, but sometimes just buying yourself something can help your mood and help you celebrate yourself because you deserve it.

4. Oooh La La

Now, who doesn't like a dessert? Oohh La La is right. Cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, you name it. Grab your favorite dessert and enjoy it with red or white wine or a simple soda. You deserve it, so celebrate yourself and savor into something sweet.

5. Lazy Day

It's okay to be lazy and to do nothing. Being lazy doesn't mean you are lazy, it just means that you are taking time to yourself to celebrate yourself. You deserve to be relaxed! You deserve to be lazy for a 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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
