We all know the last two weeks at the end of the semester are rough. I mean some days I can't even get out of bed, but this article is all the tips I've been using to get my motivation back, a.k.a this is Motivation 101.

1. Listen to Your Body

The first most important thing you can do is listen to your body, focus on your health. Now is not the time to get sick, especially with finals coming up. Honestly Emergen-C everyday isn't a bad idea. And water is a number one factor to your health. Most people are on a coffee only diet at the end of the semester but it's so important to stay hydrated!

2. Find Some New Study Buddies

Maybe someone you meet will have an amazing study technique and open you up to a completely different way to apply the material you learned. Or maybe they made a review guide?

3. Make a Study Playlist

The best songs to study to are instrumental, here is my favorite Spotify playlist with some more upbeat instrumental music, but classical works too! https://open.spotify.com/user/myplay.com/playlist/...

4. Make a Motivation Groupchat

My friends and I decided we all were kind of lost on the motivation, so we made a chat on the GroupMe app and I had added my friends from home at other schools and everyone started adding people. It became this huge thing full of motivational memes and quotes.

5. Mental Health!!!!!!!

You personally need to decided to put your mental health before anything else. This could mean working out and eating healthy. This could mean taking a video game break or just sleeping and eating. Just make sure you aren't going absolutely crazy over the end of the semester exams and projects.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
