Whether you're starting out a new semester, returning to work or just need some "me time," taking a nice, relaxing bath is the best way to decompress after a long day. Use these bath essentials to make the end of your day the best part!

1. Suction Cup

This neat plastic contraption covers the overflow drain in your bathtub, which means you can finally feel like you're in a relaxing soaker rather than a half-filled kitchen sink. Just place the suction cup over the drain and viola! Bath time is on!

2. Bath Bombs


First it was bath pearls, then it was bath salts, now it's bath bombs. Rather than spending ten dollars a pop on those "fancy" bath bombs from Lush, hit up your favorite online shops like Amazon and Etsy to get more fizz for your buck.

3. Wine

Wine + bath = relaxed. Really relaxed. Just remember to get out of the tub before you take your mid-wine nap.

4. Candles

Who doesn't feel relaxed when they walk into an over priced boutique? Harness the essence of Anthropologie with this favorite hipster candle and slip away into your bohemian dreams with hints of tropical fruits and sugared citrus.

5. Bath Pillow

The wall on the bathtub is hard and unsupportive. Grab this bath pillow and get comfortable for a long, relaxing bath that you won't want to leave.

6. Face Mask

Bath time isn't complete if you don't treat yo'self! Make sure you enhance your spa experience with a face mask that will wash away all the troubles of adulting once and for all.

7. Waterproof Speakers

No spa day is complete without the soothing voice of Michael Buble or nature sounds. Whether you like to pretend you're in the jazz age or a yoga class while you rinse the day away, make sure you do it in style with waterproof speakers rather than that red party cup you should have thrown away after beer pong was over Saturday night.

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.

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.
