Feel A Lil' Better: Because We're ALL Stressed About The Spread Of Disease

No matter how good (or bad) you'd describe your health, one thing is for sure: a little boost is ALWAYS a good idea. Whether that's reading a new, motivating book, or listening to a song that speaks to your soul, there are plenty of resources to help your health thrive on any given day.

The news this week is talking about one thing and one thing only — the coronavirus (or COVID-19, if you're being technical). On Odyssey alone, we've talked about a pandemic survival kit, coronavirus-induced anxiety, how to properly wash your hands, and sobering tweets regarding the current state of our world.

Each week, we're bringing you the best resources and influencers to give you a health boost. Here's what we're following this week in regard to public panic in the face of COVID-19.

Book: "Turtles All the Way Down"

I would not advise you to choose today to pick up that book on the plague. Instead, bring your attention to a fictional story about a character who is overcome with paranoia. It's quirky and relatable and will leave you with a feeling of "it'll all work out."

Podcast: "This Podcast Will Kill You"

You've been bombarded with information, but what do you actually need to know? "This Podcast Will Kill You" takes you through how viruses form, spread, and impact the person they attach themselves to. They get very specific and if you're looking for the deep dive into medical know-how on COVID-19, this is the pod for you.

Instagram influencer: Cassie Majestic

Cassie Majestic, MD is the ER doctor that is dropping ALL the truth bombs regarding the spread of diseases and public panic. She breaks down what is really going on, from a medical professional's point of view.

Twitter account: World Health Organization

If you're looking for the 411 on all things worldwide prevention, look no further than the World Health Organization (WHO). This way you can stick to the facts, get the updates you NEED instead of mindless panic, and stay informed to the best of your abilities.

YouTuber: Registered Nurse RN

Thank goodness for health care professionals, am I right? Nurse Sarah breaks down how to stay healthy and safe from COVID-19, as well as how to take proper steps to see if you are experiencing the symptoms for it.

Playlist: Calming Acoustic 

Y'all need some soothing sounds to zone out to, it's OK to admit it! Put on peaceful acoustic covers and practice that deep breathing!

BONUS: Coronavirus Survival Kit

If you're self-quarantined and still stressing out, that's OK. You don't have to be the coolest cucumber in the fridge to get through this thing! We've put together a Coronavirus Survival Kit to help you stay prepared and feel at peace, no matter what the situation holds!

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.
