If You're Planning On Staying Home For Spring Break, Perhaps Reconsider

Finding time to vacation can be really stressful, especially with when reviewing all of the costs that go along with it. However, sometimes these concerns should be ignored because vacations have a lot of benefits. For one, after a long winter, you can get some of much needed Vitamin D.

Moreover, vacations can lead to stress reduction. Vacations are an escape from normal life and routine. They allow for exercise and activity that is away from stressful situations (like work).

Vacation gives a person the opportunity for exploration of a new place, and the experiences gained on vacation can lead to better productivity too. In a normal routine, productivity can seem lacking when stuck in one place doing the same thing every single day. The constant need to be productive is extremely draining. Therefore, vacation gives employees/students the much needed time off in order to be more productive when you return.

Leisure time boosts energy too. Some studies have shown that vacation allows a person to refresh themselves and therefore have more energy when they return to work.

Finally, vacation can also lead to better sleep. Sleep on vacation can be great when in a fluffy hotel bed and exhausted from adventuring or being in the sun all day. Having good rest leads to feeling more refreshed when you return to your job.

Planning a vacation can be very difficult (no matter how big or small). However, the benefits of vacation make the stress of planning it worth it. Consider planning a summer or spring vacation in order to return to your daily life refreshed and stressless.

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.
