There are several types of people that partake in DIY projects. You can be the person who makes a living out of it, one who uses it to make necessary products to live, someone who does it for aesthetic purposes, or someone who isn't the best at them. Let me guide you through the process of someone who isn't the best at them.

1. Scroll through Pinterest or whatever social media you prefer and brainstorm some ideas.

To be honest, you and me both know that all you're gonna do is scroll through Pinterest for the next few hours, constantly pinning photos of DIY's that are going to be impossible to make. Most of the photo's you see are taken by professionals after countless hours were spent on the final product.

2. Decide against most of them after realizing they're too complicated.

When it comes time to narrow down the choices you realize that close to none are going to be easy. Then you remember that you don't even need half of these DIY's. Now with all of the ones you won't be able to make and the ones you won't need gone, it's finally time to actually pick one.

3. Finally choose a DIY that is easy to make with minimal supplies.

Choosing a DIY can be hard with all of the different choices you have. Finally choosing one can give you just the boost of energy you need to complete it all.

4. Go through your supplies only to realize you need to go to the store.

You've torn apart the DIY storage space you've made and looked through every cupboard for what you may need until seeing that you have basically nothing you need. Now it's time to run out to the store and buy what you need.

5. Get started on the project.

The first few steps, especially setting it up can be the easiest. Completing the first few steps gives you a big boost of confidence on how it is going to turn out.

6. Mess up on the project.

DIY projects can get difficult and there's nothing worse than making a mistake. It can force you to take a step back and redo what you've already done, but you've come this far and you can make it through.

7. Take a break from the project.

Actually, you're getting kind of tired of this. Maybe after messing up you just need to clear your head and come back stronger? Yeah, a break sounds like a good idea.


8. Forget about the project.

You told yourself you would come back to it later. Then later turned into tomorrow and tomorrow turned into next week. In just a few days, you have half of your supplies stuffed in a pile in the corner waiting for you to come back to it.

9. Complete the project.

After who knows how long, you finally come back to the project you started and you eventually finish it. It's not about how long it took you to make it, or how good it looks. What does matter is that you made something, and now it can be a useful asset to 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.
