25 Ways To A Happier Soul
Haley Coghlan

1. Take a deep breath

A lot of people underestimate the power of taking a step back and taking a deep breath, it enables you to re-center and focus on the day.

2. Smile

Nothing can change your outlook on the day better than just changing your perspective and smiling. Show off those pearly whites.

3. Be yourself

That's the best person you can be.

4. Go to lunch with your friends

Who doesn't enjoy a girls day out with food?

5. Get dressed up and take cute pictures

Nothing makes my soul happier than feeling good about myself when I rock an outfit so naturally you must document it for the gram, right?

6. Go to the beach

The sound of the waves and the sand between your toes will instantly calm you.

7. Have a cell phone free day

99% of your day is most likely spent on some type of media. Let it go.

8. Call you Grandparents

It will make their day AND yours if you spend just 10 minutes on the phone with them.

9. Pay it forward in the drive thru line

You never know what someone else is going through, make your day by making someone else's.

10. Tell your parents you love them

You can never tell them too many times.

11. Go on a sibling outing

Don't take your sibling time for granted because soon enough you will all be old doing old "adult" things and not have time.

12. Journal

Nothing frees the soul better than a good journal entry.

13. Go for a drive

Put the windows down, turn up the jams and drive. You will feel free

14. Blare music from your car

Because sometimes it's just necessary

15. Have a Netflix marathon

Because you can never watch just one episode am I right?

16. Make yourself a good cup of joe

A good cup of coffee can instantly make your day

17. Listen to Malibu by Miley Cyrus

you'll feel "as free as birds catching the wind"

18. Don't worry about the future

The future will be here regardless if you worry about it. Don't take away the joy of today worrying about tomorrow.

19. Be content in the present

It's only the present for a short time. Enjoy it

20. Enjoy the little things

Don't underestimate the small victories in life.

21. Go to a movie

Because who doesn't love movies?

22. Go get ice cream with your friends

Nothing makes the soul happier than some good ice cream with good friends

23. Treat yourself to a mani-pedi because you deserve it

The way to a happier soul is pampering you.

24. Read a good book

It will calm your mind

25. Go for a walk

It will help you clear your head

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.
