Hello,

I have so much fun in college, but I am also always busy, so here are the go-to rituals that help me get through the rough days.

Post Test/Paper Treat: After a big test and big paper, I always get myself a treat, whether it’s a coffee from my favorite place or if it is a beauty product from Target. I believe that after a big project or test, you deserve a reward for your hard work. It’s good to be proud of getting through something.

Early Morning Routine: I have to do my skincare and makeup every day of classes. I always feel so relaxed when I do my routine. It also prepares me for a long day.

Cleaning my bag daily: You would be so surprised to see how messy your bag gets after classes when you’re in a rush, so I always end the day making sure all garbage and all pens are in the correct place. It makes my life so much easier.

Checking my planner daily: I know that sounds slightly extreme. But I like to make sure my life is planned. With so much uncertainty in my life, I love making sure my days are planned accordingly.

Cleaning my surroundings: If it’s my dorm or my study area, I make sure everything is organized and clean. I hate being unorganized, so anywhere I go, I clean up. I need my area to look good, so I feel good.

Dress nice for classes: I get it, you want to wear your pj pants to class, and that’s fine, but studies show that if you get into presentable clothes (I recommend a matching sweat set, even that looks good), you will feel so much more prepared.

I think having these little rituals really helps me through the semester. I recommend finding little things that make you feel more grounded during the busy weeks

Cheers
Rose
