If you love Auburn, Auburn will love you.
Theyre absolutely amazing, Lee tells SELF at the beginning of the semester.
One thing that helped with the adjustment to college sports?
The camaraderie of a team, she says.
Its exciting to have everybody behind my back and just to be rooting for each other.
The transition from international gymnastics to college competition hasnt been the only change for the teen.
Its a lot more fun to decorate, and we can use our cars to go places.
I just feel a lot more free.
As a result, rest and recovery has taken on an even bigger importance.
Sleep is a big priority for me now, Lee says.
My bedtime routine starts after a late dinner.
I probably start my bedtime routine around 8ish.
So Ill eat at like 7:30 p.m, and then Ill get started.
Skin care is huge for me.
I have to start by removing my makeup because, well, its been a really long day.
Usually Ill get in the shower first, and then when I get out I start with my makeup.
I use theFarmacyGreen Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm.
Its just so good, it helps take my makeup off right away.
After that, Ill wash my face with theYouth To The PeopleSuperfood Antioxidant Cleanser.
After that, Ive been using theSK-II Facial Treatment Mask, and Ill have a little spa moment.
Sometimes Ill even roll over it with a jade roller to really get the serum in there.
I wake up the next morning and my skin automatically looks good.
Then Ill go ahead and use theGlow Recipe Watermelon Glow Dew Drops.
They make my skin feel so glowy, I love it!
I finish with a CeraVe moisturizer.
Its very basic, but I think it works so well.
After that, Ill hydrate my lips with theRhode Peptide Lip Treatmentand head to bed.
I set the stage for calm in my bedroom.
I like to journal, either how Im feeling right away or how I felt that day.
Then I also might hop on my planner and start planning my week out.
I like to know what I have coming up in the next couple of days and the next week.
After a hard day, I bring in recovery tools.
I dont reallystretchwhen Im at homeI stretch more at the gym.
Its just so normal to me.
Theyre compression boots, so they help with circulation and keep my muscles feeling fresh.
Whenever I wake up, I always feel a lot better.
Plus, I can lay in bed and do it, so it works out perfectly.

Then its lights outand I meanalllights out.
At about 11ish, Ill turn out the lights and get into bed.
I like silence and darkness to fall asleep.
I sleep probably like seven hours, and thats good for me.
This is the first time Ive actually had a bedtime routine.
This whole routine has changed a lot since high school to college.
Before, I didnt have much time to actually create a routine because I was training for theOlympics.
It wasnt like I had a real routine.
