Being at school can be rough. We are stressed out with jobs, studying, group meetings, and balancing everything in between. One of those in between things is taking care our ourselves. It can be really hard to set time aside for yourself when you are deep into the semester. These Her Campus Survival Kits are filled with goodies that are quick fixes to helping us feel like we are the priority. We could all use some special treatment every once and awhile. Here are quick ways to make yourself feel special.
1. A good morning routine
Waking up in the morning can be stressful. We are running around, but making sure to do the quick things like brush our teeth and make our hair look presentable, are two big staples to making you feel more special. College bathroom sinks can be filled with old makeup, brushes, toothpaste, and old hairspray. Protecting your toothbrush from the mess with Steripod can be a great way to make sure your toothbrush stays clean!
