Becoming A Morning Person
https://weheartit.com/entry/152741075

Growing up, I was a morning person. I loved maximizing my day time hours... until I hit 13 years old. Suddenly, waking up early was impossible. My eyes would burn, my brain would feel like mush, and my stomach would feel slightly queazy as soon as my first (out of 15) alarms would ring. This year, I want to become a morning person. Here are a few things I'm changing to make my mornings seem less like a death sentence and more like a peaceful moment.

1. Prep Your Things the Night Before

Recently, I have incorporated "prepping" into my nightly routine. Before hopping into bed, for instance, I put my assignments for the next day into my backpack and lay out a potential outfit on my desk chair. I've realized that this tip cuts a lot of extraneous time out of your morning routine which leaves more time for an extra cup of coffee or tea.

2. Make Your Bed 

I have always been terrible at making my bed. The past few weeks, I have been making it a mission to make my bed as soon as my feet hit the ground. Accomplishing this task not only makes your room look a little neater, but it also halts the urge of climbing back in and hitting snooze a few more times.

3. Eat Something

As cliché as it sounds, breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. Whether it's a full-on omelet from the dining hall or a small container of yogurt, eating something provides your brain with some substance to work with and sustained energy that will outlast your morning coffee.

4. Get Active

If you're like me and start classes during the late morning to early afternoon hours, scheduling in a quick morning workout can be a great way to get some endorphins flowing. I choose to do SoulCycle classes in the morning; however, any workout that gets you moving and motivated is a perfect addition to your morning routine. I find that after working out, I feel more energized and ready to tackle my classes.

Regardless of these tips, the first step of having a great morning is to get some sleep. These four tips only enhance your morning; so, carpe diem and get out of bed!

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.
