For Gen Z specifically, over the past few years, we have become so knowledgeable and motivated to change the previous generations' ways, in order to make a better world for our children, and their children to follow.

Everything we do in our day-to-day lives impacts the environment, often for worse rather than better. Today, I’ll be talking about ‘17 Ways To Be More Sustainable’ throughout our everyday lives, in order to look after and preserve our planet.

Ever felt like there wasn’t enough hours in the day to get everything done? Let me tell you, I can relate!

Time management seems to be an issue almost everyone faces as they struggle to fit everything into their daily lives. So many things to do in so little time! It’s a struggle we all face.

Now, while we only have, and only ever will have, 24 hours a day, these problems that we endure aren't due to a lack of time, but due to a misuse of time.

Students are often the most common victims of stress. Factors such as family problems, friendships, relationships, school work, assignments and social media are just some of the many stressors that students experience.

In the age of social media and technology, the world has seen a dramatic increase in mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD and other disorders often characterised by stress.

In this day and age of social media and judgement, it can be super freaking hard to love yourself.

As the years fly by, many of us dream of the lives we wish to live. Fame, money, success, happiness; all things many of us aspire to ultimately achieve in life.

But let me ask you; why do we all wait for the ‘right time’ to start?!

Today is your day! And this year is your year! To claim and create all of those goals and dreams into your reality! It is up to you to mold your future!

It’s Saturday night and the clock is ticking. As the minute hand makes its way closer and closer to the 12am deadline, you work furiously in an attempt to get your assignment done.

“Why did I leave it to the last minute?!” You exclaim, “How did this happen!?”

Does this sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone!

Life is short; It’s something we don’t realise until there's not much left of it.

As the days, weeks, months and years fly by, many of us easily get caught up in the excitement of day to day life, and forget to stop and show appreciation for each moment they have been given.

Do you ever feel like your to-do list for the day is getting longer and longer while the hours are becoming shorter and shorter?

With our busy lives as teenagers and young adults, balancing our work, school, social and home life can be a real struggle.

This makes you think; there MUST be other ways to be more productive!
