4 Things You Should Actually Give Up for Lent

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Marywood chapter.

1. Spending all of your money at the bar

  Instead of going out every night of the week, try to save the money you would normally spend over the next 40 days so after Easter you can buy yourself a special present.

2. Hanging out with Friends that Don’t Bring You Joy

   Stop hanging out with the girls who are your frenemies. Take the next 40 days to find out who your real friends are.

3. Answering Texts from F*ckboys at 3am

Put your phone on Do Not Disturb and enjoy 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

4. Staying up until 2am every night to finish your assignments.

Take the next 40 days to buy yourself a planner and actually plan out your work.  This way you’ll have more time for the people in your life who matter and more sleep!
