How To Feel Together When Life Hits Hard
Â
As college students, we are too familiar with feeling overwhelmed. The strenuous classes, constant deadlines, and let’s not forget those calve-burning hills conveniently placed every hundred feet. It sucks to admit that you’re not as together as that #BossLady you follow on insta, but alas, there is a solution. Sure you may be feeling like a hot mess on the inside for now, but with these simple hacks, you’ll be back to feeling like that green juice drinking, yogi, CEO faster than you can say Starbucks.
Buy A Cute Planner
Nothing is as motivating and satisfying than neatly writing your to-do list in a trendy planner. Almost every store now offers their own line of fun and flirty stationary. Not only do you have that coveted calendar, but now there are stickers and pens and motivational prints included! You can plan out your week, or all the way up to January 2018, whatever your productive little heart desires.
Make Yourself a Cup of Tea
2017 was the year the coffee bean died. The new drink of choice? Tea. Green, Black, Fruity, we don’t discriminate! The benefits of this herbal haven span from an increased metabolism to looking like a BOSS. Get that Trenta Unsweetened Green Tea from Starbs, or brew your own (preferably in a mug with a motivational quote plastered on the front). You’ll be sure to feel unstoppable after a couple sips of this miracle worker.
Wear Matching Socks
It’s pretty simple, you just feel like you have it together when this happens.
Slave Away on Pinterest
Ah Pinterest, the land where dream wardrobes and healthy diets are born. Speaking from personal experience, I could go for hours uninterrupted just re-clicking that little red rectangle. Pinterest will undoubtably become the most consistent thing in your life. Everything has a place, from those stunning Choo’s you’ll never be able to afford, to that 100 calorie cheese pizza you’re pretty sure would fit in your palm. Pinterest is the place where you get to organize your dream life into 20 different boards.
Finally….Embrace The Fact That It Will All Be Okay
Look, it’s just college. Yeah right now it seems that your whole life is depending on that European History paper, but in reality, no matter an A or F, life goes on. Focus on doing things that make you love life, rather than falling to the angsty mess of academia. Take things little by little, and remember there are 15 million other college students in your position. You got this!
