As of now, most of us have been doing work for our online classes or internships from our desks at home. While our desks work out okay, after doing days of work in the same space the scenery can soon become old leaving us unmotivated to complete our work. Thus, here are five simple ways to enhance your workspace to switch up the scene and boost both your productivity and creativity.

1. Use mugs and cups as storage to stay organized

Mugs and cups aren't just for drinking. Though most people use them to hold their beverages, they are actually a great way to store pens, pencils, paper clips, and other small items too. Almost any color works and it is a great way to take advantage of what you already have.

2. Add life to your desk with a plant or two

Giphy

Succulents are one of many plants that require little work while also adding life to your space. However, if you really don't want to worry about taking care of something fake plants work fantastic as well.

3. Add light to the space

If you are working late or are in a space with bad lighting, adding light to your space can be essential and make all the difference. Depending on the area, some good options are candles, desk lamps, twinkle lights, and floor lamps. Not only will they help increase your productivity, but they will also serve as a decoration adding a pop of color to the area.

4. Convert your computer into a work of art

Giphy

Instead of looking at a basic default computer screen when you open your laptop, look at an art deco piece or motivational saying by switching out your wallpaper. There are so many online to choose from and it will help increase your motivation and creativity to get you going throughout the day.

5. Create and hang a collage or mood board

This is a great way to add personality to your space as well as let your creativity grow. It will help you stay focused and motivated throughout the day, and you can switch it up when you get tired of it.

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.
