An Essential Oil For Every Mood

My secret to surviving college relies heavily on essential oils. They are nature's beautiful scents that work as a great stress-reliever that soothes and uplifts you. These scents not only calm your nerves but they are proven to treat sleep disorders and enhance efficiency. Here are some of my favorite scents for every mood.

1. Lavender

Not only is lavender one of the most gorgeous scents, but it also is known for its sleep-inducing results. While reducing stress and anxiety, it can also prevent acne, relieve pain, and enhance blood circulation. Diffuse Lavender at night on your bedside table for maximum results.

2. Eucalyptus

TAKE NOTES! Eucalyptus is my go-to oil for when I'm sick. It's a cooling and refreshing scent that is known for clearing the lungs and sinuses. It provides antioxidant protection and improves respiratory circulation. Diffuse when you're feeling a little under the weather.

3. LemonĀ 

Lemon scents are known for its purifying and cleaning properties while also energizing and uplifting. Diffuse lemon oil in the mornings before starting your day.

4. PeppermintĀ 

Peppermint's cooling and minty scent are known to help headaches and nausea. Either diffuse or apply to direct to the skin to cure any discomfort.

5. Orange

Orange is an anti-inflammatory scent that also helps as an antidepressant. It helps create a happy feeling while helping to reduce pulse rate and salivary cortisol which is experienced during a state of anxiety.

6. Tea Tree

Tea Tree scents help stimulate your immune system and help to heal skin due to its antibacterial action. Diffuse Tea Tree into your next skin care routine!

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.

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.
