With the start of the new year means fun activities and clubs to join but it also means the start of a new year of stressing about classes and while it’s important to work hard towards your goals make sure to take time for yourself, school is important but so is your physical and mental health, you can start by setting realistic expectations. As a college student, it’s nearly impossible to avoid junk food, so try to make healthier decisions the best you can think lesser of two evils, take time to focus on self-care whether its exercise, a new skin care routine or just allowing yourself time to do absolutely nothing, find a way to focus on you. As the semester progresses make sure your time priority is you because there’s nothing better than a glowing, healthy, and happy you! Now go out and take this year by storm!
