It's inevitable...finals are just days away and you just need to focus, focus, focus! Here are a few tips that can make this easier for you.

1. Create wherever you are.

Use a platform that lets you work on your final projects wherever you are, even when you don't have WiFi access (like in the subway). By having a portable study tool, you will be able to think about your finals 24/7 without losing your ideas. My personal pick is using Evernote.

2. Use calendars and alerts.

This way you won't miss any meetings, exams, or most importantly, deadlines. Even better, you can plan ahead and schedule your workload for every day. Also, if you are a forgetful person the alerts will help you to keep in mind what you have to do. My personal pick is for this is using Google Calendar.

3. Create an infinite checklist that never goes away, it just gets updated.

That way you always know what to do next. My personal favorite for doing digital checklists is Google Keep.

4. Stick your thoughts.

Encourage yourself to be more creative, write your most important projects on a sticky note and put it where you will definitely see it. This way you will come with more ideas for each assignment. I usually put them near my bed, my desk or laptop.

5. Time management.

None of these tips will work if you don't pay attention to deadlines and manage your time and schedule wisely.

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.
