Top 5 TED Talks To Watch When You're Feeling Down
http://www.ted.com/

We are all human, and there are some days where all of us feel upset. It doesn't matter if you are still in school, college or work, even out of work, everyone feels stress! I get stressed just as a normal human being does, and I have tried many things to "de-stress". Watching YouTube videos, listening to calming music, watching a funny movie, and even taking a long bath! A few years ago while I was just browsing on YouTube, I stumbled on a TED channel! TED is basically a nonprofit that is devoted to spreading new ideas and they hope to inspire people with those stories! I am very happy that I did because I have been watching funny and equally inspiring videos. Here is a list of the top 10 videos that I really enjoyed!

1. I Got 99 Problems, Palsy Is Just One

This is the first video that I saw on TED, and I am so inspired by her. She has cerebral palsy since birth. She never felt bad for herself, or wanted others to feel bad for her. She has such a positive outlook on life and she jokes about all the things that have happened in her life! This video makes me smile and gives me the confidence that I need to do what I need to do!


2. A Teen Just Trying To Figure It Out

Tavi Gevinson is the teen founder of a fashion blog/magazine called Style Rookie. She talks about what makes a powerful woman, powerful. This talk is about her journey into who she is today and how the experiences she has today changes her tomorrow for the better!



3. A Magical Tale (With Augmented Reality)

Marco Tempest is a magician. Not an ordinary magician though, he does magic with multimedia! He is known for his use of interactive technology and computer graphics in his illusions and presentations. He stars in the 8 part television series which is broadcasted in 50 different countries! This video shows us that technology is expanding and can be magical at the same time! (This video is not inspiring or anything like that, it is just a really good watch!)


4. Shake Up Your Story

Raghava KK is a artist and a father of 2 boys. He made a pop-up storybook and serves as the basis of what the talk is all about. This talk is not really inspirational but it gives out a good message about homosexual marriage. Kids these days have a lot of influences surrounding their behaviors and media and books and the main cause. This book shows kids that love can be found anywhere and no matter who your parents love or get married to, they will love you just the same! This is really vital for the younger generations, because they learn what is truly important!



5. Where Does Creativity Hide?

This video was just pure inspiration. No matter what we end up doing in our lives, we have to be creative and like what we do! She tells us that just because we are all humans, it doesn't mean that all of us are the same! Everyone has their unique specialties, but we have to find out who we are. And that is the key to success!

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.
