1. Say A Prayer Before You Even Get Up

For me, praying about my day before it even begins brings me a sense of peace, regardless of the challenges I could face. Although we aren't promised tomorrow, we were blessed with today and that's something to be grateful for.

2) Turn On Some Music

While getting up early can sometimes seem like the worst thing in the world, I've found that playing music instantly makes it hard for me to drift-off back to sleep.

3) Wash Your Face

Not only is this a must for your skin, but another opportunity to wake yourself up.

4) Drink A Bottle Of Water

I don't think you can ever drink too much water, so why not make it a goal to drink a bottle before you walk out of the door every morning? This is better for you and your skin.

5) Jot Down Your Daily Goals

Make a mental, or physical, note of everything you hope to accomplish that day. I always have a list of to-do's in my phone of what I'm doing and what I'll need for my day so that I can check things off as I go.

6) Eat A Good Breakfast

When you're running late and rushing out the door, it can be hard to make time for a decent breakfast. I, myself, normally grab the first thing I see in the pantry. However, when I do make sure that I have a good breakfast, my day is SO much better.

7) Make Your Bed!

While it is definitely not the first thing anyone wants to do as soon as they wake up, you'll be so glad you did when you return home and it's already done and tidy.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
