The De-Stressing Mantras We All Need Right Now

We have hit it-the point in the semester where taking a breather seems criminal. There are what seems to be countless papers to finish, exams to be studied for, and multiple trips to the "I shouldn't be doing this...I have homework" mentality. Not to mention, you're trying to maintain whatever control you have left over your life. Although you are accomplishing so much, it still feels like you are achieving so little? Sound familiar? Does anyone else feel too entirely stressed to function?

Being that I know you don't have much time to read this article (believe me, no hard feelings-time is of the essence), thanks to the Huffington Post and some dear friends, I have compiled a short list of motivational mantras for you. Say them, read them, text them to a friend-who cares! They are powerful combinations of letters and syllables that allow you to focus your mind and to breath permissibly. You will get through this terribly exhausting chapter. With this, still always remember...

"Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life."

1. This too shall pass.

2. It is what it is.

3. I did my best.

4. Today I refuse to stress myself out about things I cannot control or change.

5. Tomorrow is another day.

6. My body is healthy; my mind is brilliant; my soul is tranquil.

7. Though these times are difficult, they are only a short phase of life.

8. There is a reason for everything.

9. I will get through this.

10. The best is yet to come.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
