I usually pride myself on the fact that I can sleep at any point in time. Even if I have just woken up from a nap, I can fall right back asleep. I could sleep a solid 8 hours, and then go right back to sleep because I don't feel like getting up. But, sometimes even I encounter nights where I cannot fall asleep for the life of me. We’ve all been there and we’ve all had these thoughts.

1. Should I watch something on Netflix?

2. Should I eat something?

3. Does that whole warm milk thing help?

4. Maybe I should try counting sheep

5. *50 sheep counts later* Nope, this doesn’t actually work

6. Maybe I should watch something fun on YouTube?

7. Should I study?

8. Of course I’m not gonna study I’m "tired"

9. Did I lock the front door?

10. What would happen if someone broke in?

11. Stop thinking negative thoughts everything is going to be fine

12. Where do I wanna go on vacation?

13. I should come up with a budget plan

14. I should apply for internships

15. I really hope I don’t get sleep paralysis

16. My back hurts

17. It’s too hot in here

18. I’m never going to get a job

19. What do I even want as a career?

20. I want wings

21. Should I online shop?

22. Should I apply for another credit card?

23. Why did that internship not give me the position?

24. I want new makeup

25. OK I’m going to close my eyes and give up

Sometimes melatonin works for some, and for others it doesn't. For me personally, it works maybe about half the time. While it can be frustrating not being able to fall asleep, especially when you know you have a long day ahead, just remember that Netflix is always there for you. You can always nap and catch up on sleep the next day anyways.

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.
