Most people can agree Monday's have a connotation of being the worst day of week. If you get the Monday blues, like most people do, take some of these critical actions.

1. Eat a good breakfast

Starting your day by fueling your body in the morning is the best thing to do to kick start your energy on dreaded Monday's. Breakfast is the one meal you can't skip.

2. Surround yourself with your best friends

Why have a crappy Monday when you can have a crappy Monday with your best friends?

3. Treat yourself

Whether it's a coffee from Starbucks or your favorite snack from the grocery store...reward and remind yourself that Monday is a fresh start to your week.

4. Stay organized

Organizing your planner is the most pleasing thing when you are stressed with a huge work load. Do this on Monday and you will feel in control of the rest of your week.

5. Succumb to your alarm

Don't hit snooze over and over again (that's a Saturday thing). Obey to your alarm and get up right when it goes off.

6. But also, go to bed early!

As tempting as it is to stay up on Sunday night binge watching Gossip Girl, making sure to get the necessary amount of sleep for your body is more important.

7. Wear your favorite outfit

When you're dressed for success, you feel your best!

8. Don't overload your Monday schedule 

When you're starting to get in the swing of your week, keep your schedule on Monday light. If you overload it, that frazzled feeling will carry over to the rest of your week.

9. Stay positive

Sometimes Monday's, or any day of the week for that matter, can stress you out. Surround yourself with positivity and be that optimistic person for someone else who is having a bad day.

10. Jam to some music

Music is good for the soul. Throw in those earbuds, or blast that speaker and get yourself feeling good for the day.

11. Create a list of gratitude

Buy a journal and make an inspiring cover page. Whether it's on Sunday night or Monday morning, create a list of all the things you're grateful for and you'll wake up with positive thoughts. Repeat this each week.

Perform whatever steps you find necessary to give you the strength to tackle your Monday blues.

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.
