6 Tips To Staying Motivated After Midterms

So midterms are finally over (YAY!) but now your burnt out and just want the semester to be over forever. Unfortunatley, this is only the halfway mark and finals are slowly creeping closer. Before you lose your mind check out these tips to stay motivated until winter break!

1. Plan Your Day

Pretty planners are a great way to stay on top of everything. Having school supplies you enjoy using is going to make you use them more often! Plan out your entire day in a planner and you'll never miss another meeting or assignment.

2. Go On A Shopping Spree

Don't spend all your savings but do invest in yourself. The second half of the semester is a great chance to revamp your style and have a fresh start.

3. Improve Your Diet

Eating healthier will improve your skin, your immune system, and your mindset on life. Skip the junk and fuel your body with nutritious foods that will give you lasting energy.

4. Get More Rest

With a busy schedule comes a lack of sleep, but your body needs to recharge- especially after midterm exams. Do yourself a favor and stay in instead of partying and feel the difference the next day.

5. Read New Books

Self help books are a great way to stay motivated but if they're not your thing try any book that inspires you. My favorite self help book is You Are A Badass and #GirlBoss. My friend, Tim Mason's, new book A Principality of Bullets is available on Amazon now!

6. Do Your Work Where You're Motivated

I am more productive when I take my work with me to a coffee shop. The caffeine and the quaint atmosphere create a comfortable working environment. It's also keeps you from feeling down because your surrounded by other people who are also doing work alone!

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.
