Life is always crazy and especially in college when you're away from home or your friends are away from home, it can be easy to lose touch.

1. Text / Call them whenever they cross your mind

A great way to stay in touch with friends, especially when you're apart, or just busy, is to text or call them whenever they cross your mind. It can be about a tv show you just discovered and want them to watch or just to tell them you appreciate them and hope they're doing well.


Whatever the message, checking in whenever they cross your mind will definitely help you stay better connected!

2. Be kind

You never really know what a person is going through at any given time, even your closest friends.


Be kind to your friends and check in on them. Life is hard and it's even harder when you feel alone. Let your friends know you have their back!

3. Remember, you are not alone

Especially now with how disconnected and distanced we all are, it can be easy to fall into a pattern of not talking to anyone and feeling rather lonely.


Remember, you are never truly alone. There are so many people out there that care about you. You just need to reach out!

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.
