Why you may ask? Because for us, Monday-Friday is filled with stress of classes, homework, exams, and whatever else the week may have in store for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something I started doing last year as a sophomore in college, was allowing myself one night throughout the weekdays to let myself loose and have fun a little bit. Some of my favorite fun things to do during the week that only take up a couple hours of time, are things like going out to eat with friends, going shopping (specifically Target is my favorite) or just getting ice cream and watching one of my favorite movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something that ties into having fun during the week, is time management and organizational skills. No matter what, you still have things that need to get done, right? All of these things whether it&#8217;s school related or not, can feel quite overwhelming or stressful. Something that&#8217;s helped me is being organized and knowing all of the tasks and assignments I need to get done during the week. Here&#8217;s some tips for keeping yourself and staying organized:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Create a to-do list: If you don&#8217;t have a planned, I highly suggest investing in one, it has helped me immensely<\/li><li>Break up overwhelming and huge tasks: not everything has to get done at once, break it up &amp; give yourself breaks<\/li><li>Get yourself into a daily routine: this is proven to help reduce anxiety &amp; stress, you will feel more control over your life<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By doing these things I&#8217;ve felt less stressed and have found more time on my hands during the week. Always remember that having social interaction is very important, and good for your mental health. Something else that I&#8217;ve always remembered is that just because something seems really overwhelming, doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t get it done. Just taking things day-by-day is best method. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something that a lot of us college students look forward to is the weekend. Why you may ask?
