10 New Years Resolutions You Should Actually Make
We Know Your Dreams

1. Say thank you to everyone for everything. Often times we get so wrapped up in our busy lives that we forget to say thank you.

2. Set a GPA you hope to achieve and do it. The best feeling is when you tell yourself you can do something and you do. Find a support system and get those A’s.

3. Show your loved one how much you care. We often overlook the mere presence of others. Write your friends notes, call your parents even grandparents. You will not regret it.

4. Start to listen more. No one likes talking to someone who goes on and on and will not stop talking. Start to understand people and where they come from, it will deepen your relationships and understandings of each other.

5. Declutter your mind. Forgetting about mental health is a no go. Make sure you take the time for yourself and rewind and to de-stress every once in a while.

6. Focus on feeling healthier. If you make one healthier choice a day, you will feel accomplished. It doesn’t have to be food or physical, it can be anything while healthy food and working out are good options also.

7. Say yes to everything. You never know unless you try and you only live once. Just do it.

8. Try a new skill. Always wanted to learn to cook a recipe or play a song on the piano? Have someone help you acquire a new hobby.

9. Volunteer at least once. Many people are in need of help in this world. The best personal reward is done through the helping of others. Go to an animal shelter, soup kitchen or even donate.

10. Mend broken relationships. The last thing anyone wants is to have especially going into a new year, is broken relationships. Talk to that person and clear the air so the both of you can move on.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

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.
