It is that time of year again! Classes are coming to an end and all the work you have been putting off is coming in real hot. When you first get your syllabus and realize that all the big things are not do until the last week of classes you figure you'll have all the time in the world to get to it later but its later now and do you have time? Of course not.


1.) Go out every night of the week

Honestly its been a hard semester and you deserve some time off! So skip out on club library this last week and just go out and have a ball.

2.) Just eat all the junk food

We've heard all our lives that fruit and vegetables help our brains and scientifically help us do better but lets put it to the test. All the food in the snack drawer just pull out and eat that for dinner maybe you'll see if you do better or worse on your exams.

3. Hide from your notes

Opening your notebooks and going back over all your notes does not seem like fun, so instead let's just play a little game of hide and seek and hide your books and don't go back to look for them.

4. FaceTime with your friends from home.

You're going to see all your long lost best friends from home in one week but why wait? Spend all day and night FaceTiming with them instead of getting any work done because staring at each other and talking about nothing seems better than actually studying for those tests called finals.

5. Stay up all night.

Nap all day and stay up all night? Let's do it. Netflix is coming out with some good new movies and shows so why not choose that over sleep then nap when you should be in class.

6.) Go to the library and talk.

Everyones in the library trying to get their last minute work done and you want to feel like your getting work done too, so go hang out in the library. Rather than studying though sit there and talk to your friends and distract everyone else while you're at it.

By the way, don't do any of these things during finals week, but you could just do the exact opposite and good luck on finals!

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
