Most of the time, college is super stressful. Balancing classes, assignments, organizations such as Greek life, and a social life can be overwhelming. It is very important to keep organized and use your time wisely so that you can get everything done on time, and done well. Here are some tips that I to keep in mind to stay on top of my life...

1. Get a planner, and keep up with it

A planner is such an easy way to keep your schedule and assignments in order. You'll know when you have class, what you have due each day, and what events you have going on each week. Looking at your planner ahead of time is really helpful so that you can plan out your day in advance. Also, planners are inexpensive and super cute!

2. Keep your room clean

It sure is easy to get to the point where you can't see your bedroom floor, but it is important to keep a tidy living and study space. Just a quick clean up of the clothes you throw on the floor after trying them on will make a huge difference. With a clean space, it is easier to get things done. You won't be distracted when you are completing school work, and you will ultimately feel at ease.

3. Plan your day out when you wake up

When you plan out what you will be doing each day at the very start of it, it is beneficial because you will get everything done when you need to and have a set time to do it. There is a smaller chance for other things to get in the way when you have a time that you know you need to be doing something.

4. Set your priorities straight

It is easier than you think to put your social life above all else. When you are having second thoughts, keep in mind why you are actually at college: to get a degree.

5. Keep a budget

The stereotype of broke college students is definitely true. Be sure to focus on what you need versus what you want so that you could possibly have money in the end for a new outfit, or a fun night with friends.

6. Stay happy and positive!

Nothing can go right when you are having a bad day. Your bed and Netflix will be calling your name when you are feeling down, so think of the positive things in life! Go after your day like a rockstar!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
