Relaxation and revamping is something we all need to do every once and a while. Whether it be after a long week, stressful situation or just the feeling of taking on too much? Take a load off and set aside a personal day. We all need to take a personal day to keep ourselves sane from our crazy lives. Here are some signs that you need a personal day:

1. When you wake up and the first thing you think about is going to bed that night

2. When you've hit your caffeine limit for the day, yet your body is shutting down

3. When you've become numb to a serious or stressful situation because you don't care about the consequences anymore

4. When taking a hot shower is the most exciting part of your day

5. When taking a nap doesn't fulfill the sleep deprivation you have been trying to cope with for the last few days

6. When a night-in of watching netflix, alone in the dark sounds better than going out with your friends

7. When you're having 'one of those days' where everything that could go wrong, goes wrong

8. Having to force yourself to do your makeup or style your hair because you have to leave the house for work or school

9. When no matter the time of day, you just want it to be over

10. When no matter how many times you distract yourself with your phone, watching tv or your computer, you find yourself even more unmotivated

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
