Over the last few weeks, a lot of people have been getting sick on campus. With midterms ending and spring break just a week away, getting sick is the last thing anyone wants. Staying germ-free can be done rather easily by anyone. Here are 5 tips to help you remain healthy over the next few weeks.

1. Wash your hands

Washing your hands frequently is critical to remaining germ free. Throughout the day, you touch so much and you never know who touched it before you. In order to keep the germs away, you have to wash your hands.

2. Make sure you're eating healthy

Eating healthy is another great way to ensure you don't get sick. I will admit that I am the worst about this one. Being in college is hard and sometimes you don't want to make yourself food. It's just easier to pick something up or to heat up a meal.

3. Get enough sleep

Another way of staying healthy is getting enough sleep at night. In college, you're probably not getting as much sleep as you need. I know my sleep schedule has changed a lot since going to college.

4. Take your vitamins

Taking your vitamins is another quick and easy way to stay healthy.

5. Minimize stress

This one is easier said then done especially being in college. While some stress is unavoidable, try to avoid as much unneeded stress as possible.

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.
