When you're bored after a long day, or maybe it is just a weekend and you have no plans, it can be easy to just be lazy. Yes, you can rest, but don't spend your whole day lounging around. Also, it has become a very unhealthy habit for people to eat, even when they're not hungry. Just out of boredom! Try some of these things instead to keep a healthy life and mind!

1. Go for a walk

Walking is a great way to clear your head AND get some exercise!

2. Read a book

Literature is always fun! Get off your phone and pickup a book before it is too late. It is so incredibly fun getting lost in your own imagination.

3. Call your parents

Your parents can probably spend hours talking to you. Give them a call, tell them you miss them!

Turn up the music and just dance! Relax and enjoy yourself, you deserve 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.

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.
