5 Of The Best Things To Do When You Need A Study Break

1. Go for a run: I know exercise probably is the LAST thing you wanna do right now but trust me, there is something unexplainable about exercising outside. Trust me, running will help you relieve stress, and the endorphins will improve your mood and concentration.

2. Take a shower: The hot steam will help relax your muscles, and will also help with stress relief. Besides, when is taking a shower not a good idea??

3. Cook/Bake: Let's be honest, you're probably eating take out and/or ramen, and the last thing you think you have time for is make something somewhat edible for yourself. Here's an amazing recipe for cake that actually takes no time to bake with ingredients you probably have on hand anyways.


4. Go grocery shopping: Let's be honest, you probably have next to nothing to eat anyway. Take it from someone with experience, eating popcorn as a meal substitute isn't the hottest idea in the world.

5. Pamper Yourself: By this, I mean take some time out of studying to treat yourself. I know for me when I need a break, I go and put on eyeliner because it's something that makes me look more awake and looks nice on my eyes, which really increases my confidence. It's stupid I know, but trust me, it's these little things that'll help you push through.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
