Q: A delicious meal may be the perfect solution for end-of-summer blues. Choose a favorite local restaurant, chain, or cafe and order your favorite dish. If you have any leftovers, take them home to enjoy before the first day of class. Sometimes, a new year calls for a new you, and one of the best ways to accomplish that is with a fresh set of back-to-school clothes. If you have some money to spend, head to the mall and try out the latest styles. For students on a budget, thrift shops like Goodwill can hide a lot of gems that are cheap, fashionable, and will give your threads a unique flair. Personal spa remedies are a great way to get refreshed before school starts again. Set up a hot bath with candles, relaxing music, and a bath bomb. If you’re up for it, put on a mud mask or cucumber eye gel. Enjoy the good vibes and let your mind drift away to whatever topics it wants. Once you’re done and dried off, moisturize your body with some shea, honey, or cocoa lotion. Rest and relaxation can be a rarity during the year thanks to homework and student organizations, but there’s plenty of time for it during summer vacation. Take an entire day to just lounge around, relax, and sleep. Feel free to watch TV, listen to music, or do whatever else strikes your fancy, but don’t follow a strict schedule. It will make you feel better, and it will help you get rested for the start of the school year.
A: Go to your favorite restaurant. Go shopping for new clothes. Have a home spa night. Take a day to chill.

Q: If you have a chair that is the right size to stretch the elastic, that will work perfectly. If you don’t have a chair that’s the right size, you can try using the side of a small table, an empty drawer, or an empty poster frame. If you can, line up the sides with the side of the chair. This will help stretch the elastic evenly. Let your elastic sit, being stretched, for 24 hours. If the desired size still isn’t reached, put the elastic back in the stretched position and leave it for several days. Leave it in a warm place to help the elastic band stretch.
A:
Find a chair. Stretch your elastic clothing over your chair. Let it sit.
