Routines add structure. They help you manage time. They can provide a sense of calm. And, also, they can help you feel like you’ve got your shit together.
Try establishing some college routines customized to your lifestyle by using these handy formulas. Because, let’s be real, we can’t all carry out a half hour nighttime routine complete with bathbombs and $100 face masks every night.
This past week has been super busy, and yet I’ve been as social as ever. Socializing in college stresses me out and makes my calendar extra overwhelming…but, it also makes me extra happy. I love being able to see friends and spend time with people while I still have the chance. (I’m not dying…just graduating….both are kind of similar)
The older you get, the more you need to legitimately make time for people and make actual plans. There is less casually bumping into friends or making plans five minutes before they happen. While that’s kind of stressful, it can be pretty nice to know how your social calendar is shaping up for the next two weeks. Here are some ways to make time and make plans for socializing in college.
Have you ever just started crying in the dining hall? Or, thrown your textbook at the wall? Or, laid on your carpet and screamed at the ceiling? All of the above? Me too. It’s really hard to remain calm in college when it feels like you’re being pushed in a million directions and concurrently trying to figure out your life.
It’s really difficult to balance all of the parts of life. It’s something I’ve written about in the past. I’m constantly juggling work, a social life, college and a blog. I am not a very calm person, but sometimes I get into really good places where I can totally keep my cool.
And when I’m able to remain calm in college, I take note of what helped me to feel that way. And then I use those notes to make a blog post…and to reference them in the future when I’m drowning in deadlines and obligations. On weeks like this, when I have four interviews, six assignment deadlines and my best friend’s birthday weekend happening, this post is extra necessary and useful.

As a lot of you know, I’m graduating college this semester! As someone who is a huge worrier, I am already writing down all of the things I need to do when I graduate. And I’m also making dozens of spreadsheets.
I mean, this is it. I will, officially, be an adult. I can buy alcohol and I can rent an apartment but also I have to start paying even more attention to my credit score and savings. Post-grad life is going to be stressful but it’s also going to be exciting. Here’s exactly what’s on my to do list after I graduate.
