What To Bring Into 2019 And What To Leave In 2018

The holiday season has finally come to a close and another year is behind us. It cathartic, a lot of people feel the new year will bring a whole new life for them. As cliche as that sounds it really can! But do any of us really know how to capitalize on that optimism? Probably not. We're all trying our hardest and could always use some help!

What to bring into 2019

Only the best memories from 2018, flush the rest out of your mind. Breakups, losing friends, bad grades, literally anything that was trivial and hurt you can stay in 2018. Bring the memories of good times, a good significant other, and great friends. If you have any pictures maybe print them out and put them somewhere in your room to remind you how good 2018 was to you.

If you are close with your family don't let that go. In 2019 get closer to them, you can't find a better support system than ones who are forced to be.

If you aren't close with your family, make sure all your friends are the best. We won't tolerate flaky friends or people who don't care about you.

What to leave in 2018

Literally, anything that doesn't make you happy. If you have been looking for a sign to ditch some habits or people this is it. If it isn't making you a better person thank you next that shit and move on. 2019 "you" deserves it.

Leave behind any bad thoughts. There are a ton of ways to do that! Write down all the bad feelings in a journal, or maybe a burn book. Then just burn it or throw it away! That's my personal favorite. You could also just think through everything one last time and come to the realization that everything bad made you stronger.

No matter how you ended 2018 or started 2019 keep in mind you have plenty of time to be your best self. Make time work in your favor use it to your advantage.

Have a great 2019.

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.
