Winter break is on it's way out and school is coming back to a start. For people with anxiety, this can be a very difficult time. You're going from being with family and seeing only close friends to going back to school with a large amount of people around at all times. Leaving the quietness of your home could make you anxious on it's own. Here are some tips on how to make yourself more comfortable once you get back to school.

1. Go to bed as early as you can

Being around people is rough for people with social anxieties or anxiety in general. I tend to sleep earlier when I'm at school than when I'm at home. Most people find it strange since you should have more of a reason to stay up at school but for me it's the opposite. If you're having anxiety about your sleep schedule or are having trouble getting a good amount of sleep, try to sleep earlier than usual.

2. Nap when you need to

If you feel tired, you nap. Don't hold back because you're afraid of missing out or you feel like you're wasting your day. There is no problem with sleeping when you need to.

3. Listen to your body

Overall, an article can't tell you what is best for you. Know your limits and strengths and do what you need to to make yourself feel better.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
