5 Ways to Rock Your New Year's Resolution

We all know how hard it is to keep up with a New Year's Resolution. Whether it be to eat healthier, lose weight, or spend less time on your phone, it is a proven fact that New Year's Resolutions stop being followed around one month after the New Year. Since February is quickly approaching, it is important to remind yourself that you can, and are able to continue with your resolution. And if you need some help, that's fine! We all need some reassurance from time to time.

1. Create a Schedule- Schedules are important when setting a goal. If you set a goal, i.e., a resolution, but don't have anything written out to help guide you, it may be difficult to achieve your goal. This schedule can be in a calendar or a planner, or anywhere that is easy to find when you need it. Let's say that your resolution is to work out more and to get in shape. Take a calendar and map out the days you want to work out. If you set these dates in stone, you may be more likely to follow through with it.

2. Get Motivation- This motivation can come from friends, family, or even social media. Continuing with the working out resolution, you can get motivation by creating pinterest boards of fit people and neat exercises. You can follow people on Instagram who post a lot about how to continue with working out and tips and tricks that will help you in the long run. Motivation is extremely important--if you don't have any motivation to continue with your resolution, it won't happen.

3. Remind Yourself that You are Only Human- Sometimes when people fall off track, they have no motivation to get back onto their goal. If you fall off of your resolution for a few days or even a week, it's important to remind yourself to not give up after that and that you are only human. Humans are very resilient, and it's important to think about that if you fall off track.

4. Talk about it- If you are having trouble with your resolution, talk to your closest friend or family member about it. Sometimes when we feel alone while doing something, we tend to not be interested in continuing on with it. If you allow yourself to vent, you will be more successful in the long run.

5. Find Someone Else with the same Resolution- If you are able to find someone who has the same resolution as you, and both of you decide to help each other out with it, you will be much more successful.

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.
