7 Things You Can Do To Become A Morning Person

These are the things I did from high school through college to help keep me motivated early in the morning and power through the day! I've had a hard time keeping up with my morning routine as the pandemic has absolutely drained me, but I think it's important to start up again to make life feel somewhat normal!

1. Practice good sleep habits

Being able to keep a consistent sleep schedule is a great way to ensure you're getting quality sleep.

2. Take your time 

Trying to balance work, school, personal life, etc, can be absolutely exhausting — not to mention stressful. Try to come up with a schedule that allows you to wind down and relax an hour before you're ready to hit the hay.

3. Nap cautiously 

If you didn't get enough sleep one night and think a nap will help reenergize you, then do it, but proceed with caution. Don't take a nap a few hours before you go to bed. Your schedule and body will be messed up and confused and you won't want to sleep at your normal time. Also, don't nap for more than an hour.

4. Practice a healthier diet 

Don't go to bed too full or too hungry — the discomfort caused by either of these feelings can keep you awake. Also, try not to chug a bunch of water before bed. It could cause you to wake up and have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, which disturbs your sleep schedule more than you would think.

5. Prep before bed 

The hour you spend to wind down should be tech-free. You can use that time to get together what you will need in the morning. Shortening your to-do list in a.m. could make it a lot easier for you to roll out of bed.

6. Get comfortable 

Make sure you're in an environment where you feel most comfortable. Temperature, noise, light, and comfort can all impact your ability to sleep well. A cool and quiet room is one of the best ways to stay fall asleep.

7. Set your motive 

Why do you want to start getting up earlier? What drove you to want to become a morning person? Make a list of what you want to achieve each day and that will help motivate you to get started with this routine and get everything done so you have less stress in your 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.

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.
