It's okay to cry.

12 Things To Do Once The Election Is Over
The New York Times

November 8th is finally upon us and all I can say is THANK GOD. This 2016 election has certainly been a weird one. To be honest history book writers should probably just leave all the 2016 election stuff out of the books, no one needs to relive this torture. After months of reading weird 3 a.m. tweets and watching candidates get excited over balloons, I think everyone is ready for this election to be over. Once it is finally over, here is a list of 12 things you can do to celebrate.

1. Cry.

That "don't cry because it's over" quote is completely irrelevant here. You should cry because it's over. Who knows what will happen to our nation now, so cry all you want. The Obamas were the coolest first family ever so you should cry because they're leaving too.

2. Scream.

This one goes hand in hand with the first. Scream as loud as you can to get all the pent up election frustrations out.

3. Dance.

Dancing can be a stress reliever, just look at Meredith Grey and Christina Yang, they dance every time they're sad or stressed. I can probably bet that you're feeling sad and stressed too so just go ahead and dance it out.

4. Treat yo self.

Seriously, you've been putting yourself through hell these past few months fighting about politics on Facebook so go buy that thing you've been eyeing to congratulate yourself for not giving up on your preferred candidate.

5. Read a book.

Once again, after stressing yourself out over ignorant social media posts it will be awesome to finally read something that doesn't use the wrong form of "there" or misspelled words.

6. Start a new Netflix show.

You may have a lot of free time now that you aren't stressing out over what will happen to our nation. You could try Scandalor House of Cards if you absolutely can't tear yourself away from political talk.

7. Clean your house.

You probably forgot to do a lot of basic household things while you were worrying about the election. Your friends and family would probably appreciate it if you cleaned too. Hey, it might also relieve some stress too.

8. Ask out your cute Tinder match.

You don't have to worry about him asking what you think of the election now that it's over so you'll avoid those awkward silent dinners after you get into a political argument.

9. Get a new pet.

Buy yourself a pet because they can cuddle with you if things do start heading south and you need someone to cry to.

10. Color and cut your hair.

If you're not happy with what the person you voted for is doing, change your hair and become a new person. Forget you even voted, maybe even pick a new name.

11. Get a passport.

Just in case.

12. Never think about the election again.

Save yourself the tears. Just put this trainwreck behind you.

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.
