6 Essentials To Get You Through The Last Month of Classes

With the last month of classes quickly approaching here are some helpful tips to get yours through it.

Starbucks, Starbuck, Starbucks 

The last month of classes is when you have papers due, tests, assignments left and right, and not to mention the dreaded finals quickly approaching. Starbucks, or your choice of coffee shops, will be your source of life giving you the much needed caffeine to survive!

Study Breaks

It is so easy to let yourself get stressed out thinking about the amount of work you have to do. If you allow yourself study breaks you will be so much more productive, it is all about time management.

A good nights sleep 

Studies have proven that if you get a goods night rest before a test that you will retain the material better and actually do better on the test. I 100% agree with this I have noticed that if I go to bed at a reasonable time the night before then I feel much better prepared then if I would have pulled an all nighter.

Make a To do list 

It is truly so important, make a to do list so you know exactly what you have to get done. It is easier to look and see then to sit there thinking what all do I need to do to be productive. Plus if you write it out you are less likely to forget what you you have to do then if you keep it in your head.

Get your priorities straight 

This one sounds so harsh, but if you need to get a bunch of stuff done why would you go out and party? Trust me there has been plenty of times that going out with my friends seems like a better option. FOMO is a real thing, I get it, but know about your school work and think about then when making a decision for what to do that night.

Avoid Netflix at all costs 

Lets face we all know "I will just want one episode" turns into a whole season real quick. Netflix is a black hole that sucks you in. No judgement I completely get it.

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.

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.
