Stress. It's something everyone deals with. It can drive you to absolute madness. Whether it's work or school, it can sometimes seem like we have a million things to do, but no time to do them. Everyone has different ways of dealing with this stress, but here are a few ideas. Don't worry your life isn't over.

1. Take a walk.

Taking a walk and getting some fresh air is a good way to get your mind off of things.

2. Watch a movie.

Maybe a sad one? Crying could help you feel better. Or a funny one!

3. Take a nap.

When in doubt, sleep it out.

4. Talk to a friend.

Nothing better than venting to your best friend.

5. Call Mom.

Mom always knows all of the right things to say.

6. Go to the gym.

A great way to blow off steam.

7. Or do some yoga.

Very relaxing and less sweaty than a normal gym workout.

8. Organize yourself.

After some organizing, you might feel like your life isn't in shambles anymore.

9. Listen to music.

Have a jam sesh.

10. Color.

Adult coloring books are a thing, and they are awesome.

11. Disconnect for awhile.

Turn off your phone and computer. Spend some time with yourself and don't worry about what everyone else is doing.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
