When you settle into college there are certain essentials that you need to help adjust to living by yourself and accustomed to the college lifestyle.

These five things would make adjusting to the college lifestyle a little easier.

1. Debit Card/Credit Card

A debit card/credit card is essential for every college student to have even if you barely have any money in your bank account. Nobody nowadays carries cash and it is so much easier to have someone pay you back/you pay someone back when you could easily do it through Venmo.

2. Headphones

Headphones are the savior of all college students. They help when your walking from place to place and studying or when your just trying to avoid a conversation with someone. Just put on your headphones

3. Snacks

Snacks are essential for every college student who needs a something to munch on when they are late night studying or when they need something to eat when the dining hall is closed or when they do not want to spend any more money.

4. Advil/Tylenol

Advil/Tylenol is necessary when you had too much fun the night before or when you catch the inevitable cold while being in college. Advil/Tylenol saves you from the days where you feel like you can't even get out of bed.

5. Things That Remind You Of Back Home

Whether they are pictures, an object, or anything else, reminding yourself where you come from and why you are here is crucial when you start staying at college.

These things help any college student get through the tough days of college life!

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.
