10 Best Teas for Anxiety and Insomnia
Anxiety is never fun. A lot of people might think that you're "nervous," but anyone with anxiety knows it is so much more than that. Your heart is pounding, thoughts are racing through your head, and you can't focus on anything but trying to get through your day without completely breaking down. What's worse is when that anxiety crawls into your bed with you and prevents you from sleeping. You lie in bed just begging and pleading to finally make it stop so you can get some rest. For me, when I try to go to sleep, thoughts of what went wrong that day start playing in my head like a review of a bad performance in a movie. Then I started having anxiety over the fact that I haven't fallen asleep yet, only keeping me more awake, and the cycle perpetuates itself all night long. It's insufferable.

10 Amazing Non-DC or Marvel Superhero Movies
While DC and Marvel are currently the kings of the superhero genre, they aren't the only ones to take a crack at the crime-fighting heroes we know and love from their various comic iterations. None of these did as well at the box office as something like Guardians of the Galaxy or Wonder Woman, possibly the highest grossing origin film of all time, but they all have their place in our hearts, and some of them have even become cult classics. A lot of these films are going to be from the 90s and early 2000s era, since that's a bit before Marvel and DC really started to overtake the genre. That makes them all the more charming, and if you haven't seen any of these non-DC or Marvel superhero movies yet, grab your popcorn and give yourself a night.

11 DIY Cat Houses You Can Easily Make
We all know that feeling—we spend a ton of money on buying our cat the most beautiful, soft, expensive cat house we can find, only to see her more interested in an empty cardboard box than the $100 cat house you were convinced she would love. Now you've wasted money and your cat still doesn't have a nice place to call her own.

It's just one of those weird things your cat might do. Your kitty wants a warm place to snuggle, but if your lap is occupied, what can she do?

Our generation has been trained to have very short attention spans, and we tire of things quickly. We want to move onto something else, but when thinking of things to do at home when you're bored, your mind can go blank.

Most Expensive Private High Schools in America
High school can teach you a lot. No, I'm not just talking about knowing what the powerhouse of the cell is, I'm talking about learning how to work together with people you might not like, make friends, and manage your time. Where you learn all of this stuff is really important, too, since a good education is proven to lead to making more money after graduation, a lower chance of ending up and jail, and all sorts of positive benefits.
