“How many more days until school is over?” I find myself asking my friends this question to my friends wayyyy too much, and I bet you do too. But who can blame us? It is half way through the second semester of the school year, and this is what I like to call the “mid-term slump.” It is the part of the year where you feel like you have been in school forevvver and your motivation is seriously lacking. It can even be a bit depressing. Don’t let the slump rule your life, take control! Here are a few ways to overcome it.

1. Find what isn’t working and change it: If your grades or slipping or you feel like you are losing connection with some of your friends, make a change! Change the way you study, and change the way you stay in touch and stay close to your friends.
2. Take care of yo-self: When your mind is in 20 different places and when you aren’t feeling motivated, it is easy to put taking care of yourself on the back burner. Don’t do that! Take care of yourself emotionally by writing in a journal or talking to a friend, and take care of yourself physically by taking a study or work break and going on a walk or working out. Keep yourself healthy and feeling good, it will help keep you out of the slump!
3. Talk to a friend: Let them know how you are feeling. Odds are, they are feeling slump-ish too! Talking about it can help, and you can both try and come up with ways to stay motivated!
4. Realize it will be over soon: Summer will be here before you know it, I promise. Counting down can sometimes make the time seem like it goes by slower. Quit crossing off the days and just enjoy the moment! These are some of the best days of our lives, so make them count!

Stay far from the slump, you will thank yourself in the long run!

XOXO, Chels

How to Beat the Winter Blues!

How to Beat the Winter Blues!

Looking back at pictures of my tan skin and lighter hair, winter blues can set in pretty quick. Why not think of some ideas to chase them away? Often during the winter, we sleep more, eat more, and exercise less!  Here are some ways to keep the “winter blues” at bay!

1. On a sunny day, make the best of it by getting outside to soak in some Vitamin D.  Bundle up, grab your bike, roller blades, running shoes, tennis racquet, etc. (You get the idea!  Use whatever you love!) and go outside to get some exercise.  Just a little time outside can make us dream of those warm sunny days that are just around the corner.


2. Make an appointment for a facial, pedicure, and/or massage!  It’s always nice to be pampered.  So why not go for it….you deserve it.  I know those appointments can sometimes be expensive.  If that is the case, then call some friends over and look up DIY facials and nail designs.  You pamper a friend and then they pamper you.  Massages are easy with lotion or oil that you already have at home!


3. Anyone up for a hot tub party?  Make yummy appetizers and fun summer drinks and invite a group of your friends over!  Put on your suits and hop in the hot tub.  If you don’t have a hot tub, maybe one of your friends does.  You and a friend can eat, drink, and soak your blues away!

It won’t be long insiders, spring is just around the corner!  Until then, make the most of your free time by chasing winter melancholy away!

XOXO, Chels

Beat the Back to School Blues

Beat the Back to School Blues

Between sleeping in, endless days spent with friends, and family vacations, going back to school can be a real drag…not to mention a nightmare for some kids!  Although the start of a new school year is something most kids and teens don’t look forward to, there are a few ways to beat the back to school blues. 

A positive attitude is everything!  When you constantly tell yourself how much you hate school, you’ll soon start to believe it!  Instead, think of school as a time to see your friends and a chance to learn something new.  Don’t spend your last days of summer in “depression”; instead soak in those last few days!

New teachers and classes can also cause anxiety.  Instead of worrying about the unknown, compare your class schedule with friends.  This way, you’ll know which friends are in your classes.  This always makes my mind at ease, because I know I have someone to walk to class with or work on homework with.

Look at a new school year as a new opportunity and fresh start.  If you were disappointed in yourself last year, then challenge yourself to make changes.  Make new friends, join a few clubs, get your grades up, and work harder than ever before.  School is how you make it!

XOXO,

Chelsea
