Self Care Tips to Survive College

1. Make a “reset” playlist with songs that chill or hype you up fast.

2. Keep a gratitude jar—drop in one thing you’re thankful for each day.

3. Try unplugging from screens at set times—digital detox hours.

4. Put together a comfort kit with snacks, cozy socks, or a stress ball.

5. Use aromatherapy—lavender or peppermint to relax or focus.

6. Challenge yourself with mini goals like “only water for 3 days” or “write a daily positive note.”

7. Do quick 1-2 minute deep breaths—micro-meditations during busy days.

8. Block out “no plans” time just to chill and recharge.

9. Make a mood playlist to match and help process your feelings.

10. Get creative—doodle, color journal entries, or build mood boards.
