Min An

When there is nothing to do, and it seems like the never-ending pile of homework is thin, boredom sets in fast, especially when it is too cold outside. Here is a list of things you can do when there is, well, nothing to do.

1. Watch movies

2. Clean (Admit it, dorm rooms get disgusting quickly)

3. Read

4. Study (You know it needs to be done)

5. Start a journal

6. Get some friends and have a board game night

7. If you have a car, take a drive to a neighboring town

8. Explore your campus.

9. Get lost on Pinterest

10. Go to a craft store and pick up some easy crafts, like paint by numbers

11. Do a puzzle

12. Organize your closet and/or your desk

13. Laundry

14. Change your sheets (They are probably a mess)

15. Make your bed (If you are on the top bunk, this can take up to 15 minutes if it includes putting a sheet on. It's a struggle.)

16. DIY some decorations

17. Pick up a new hobby like Zentangle

18. Color!!

19. Go to the gym, or even better, do a workout in your room

20. Or, do some Yoga

21. Meditate (or learn how to!)

22. Take a walk

23. Discover a subject you're passionate about and do as much research about it as you can (and maybe write an article about it)

24. Dance around your room

25. Plan for the coming week

26. Call your family (they probably haven't heard from you in a while)

27. Watch Netflix (there has to be a series that you haven't watched yet)

28. Get creative and write short stories (Pinterest has many prompts to get you started)

29. Watch a documentary on a subject that interests you

30. Or on a subject that you have no interest in. Maybe you'll learn something

31. Renew your passion for your major. Maybe its discovering advancements in the field or watching said documentary above

32. Go through your emails

33. Volunteer your time at an animal shelter, soup kitchen, etc.

34. Go for a photography walk

35. Join a club

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.
