Get Through Your First Week the Right Way

Getting into the groove of a new semester is always mentally grueling for me; from getting into the routine of waking up extra early to walking across campus in negative degree weather to getting back into the grind of assignment upon assignment. In the midst of these adjustments and long days, I find myself staying motivated throughout the entire day by the little things-like a good cup of coffee, headphones and a good playlist, an occasional tobacco break, and of course, a feel-good outfit and accessories. It’s always the little pick-me-ups that make a day that much more enjoyable (and bearable). With this said, a fresh feeling outfit will give you the burst of energy and confidence you need to start your morning off right; even parts and pieces of an outfit. Like you’re favorite shoes, or stand-out earrings. Sport anything that makes you feel a little bit more glamorous; something you want to show off and feel good in. It can be tough getting through the first week, but we’ve got this. Take it day by day and don’t forget about the little (but essential) pick-me-ups.
