Market Track

Whether you're in high school or college, the semester is starting soon and move in day stresses are rising. From choosing the right bedding for your new dorm to choosing your first-day-of-school outfit, the must-do's checklist in your head is probably causing you to spiral out of control! So, here is a summarized checklist for your back to school needs to make your life a tad bit easier.

1. Charger

Always keep your electronics charged!

2. Deodorant

No one likes a stinky skunk. Bring some deodorant along to keep yourself smelling fresh not funky!

3. Whiteout

No better way to keep your notebooks neat and tidy. Not everyone can take notes down with no errors.

4. Gum

You can't make a ton of friends with your breath smelling like garlic or with spinach stuck in your teeth, so keep these buggers to save you from a social humiliation!

5. Snacks

keep yourself well energized! Pack an apple or an energy bar so you're not drained in the middle of class.

6. Wallet

Keep your cash in tact with a wallet so you're organized and not scurrying through your backpack for cash to pay for lunch.

7. Binder

You know it! Store your notes and worksheets in these bay boys to avoid the panic when you can't find your homework that;s due.

8. Calculator

You know you need it.

9. Pens and pencil pouches

These, too.

10. Lanyard

The best way to keep your keys and ID card with you at all times!

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.

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.
