Having your own schedule can be the best thing or the worst thing. On one hand, you have all the time in the world to do what you want, but on the other hand, you have all the free time to sit around and do nothing. I, like most college students, am on a very limited budget, so I am always looking for fun and cheap things to entertain me. Sometimes there is more to do at your house than you realize! I have compiled a list of suggestions for activities, some more productive than others, to fill the empty hours of the day!

1. Do a puzzle

2. Pick out what to wear the next day

3. Read a good book

4. Write down what you are thankful for

5. Take a power nap

6. Rearrange your room

7. Clean something you haven't cleaned in a while

8. Buy flowers for someone

9. Go grocery shopping

10. Go to a farmers market

11. Go to local festivals

12. Go to a free/cheap museum

13. Organize your closet

14. Write in a journal

15. Exercise

16. Do homework

17. Count your spare change

18. Play memory games

19. Declutter your camera roll

20. Go for a walk/jog

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.
