5 Easy Ways To Get Your Shit Together

I feel like we're reaching the turning point of summer where all the fun and games turns into dread and anxiety as a new school year approaches. Every year right after the Fourth of July the bliss of sweet summertime comes to a screeching halt as we all check our calendars and realize that move-in day is just around the corner. If you're like me and just hearing the word "August" sends you into shock, you might still be in the fantasy that summer lasts forever and you don't actually have to retake Math 1151 next semester. No worries though! Read this to get you started with the process of getting your shit together!

Realize that you don't have your shit together

Close your eyes and recite your class schedule. Alright, that one's a little hard... Try thinking of what day and time you move in. Can't think of that either? YIKES. You've gotta get it together! August is less than 2 weeks away and all you've got for next year is a duvet cover?

Check your email

If there's anything SUPER important that you're forgetting about it's most definitely somewhere in your email. Think about every adult responsibility you have and enter it in the search bar. From there you can figure out if you're late on a payment or have anything urgent to take care of.

Make a list and then make more

Make a list of all of the problems you need to handle to get your shit together. Then for each problem make a list of all of the things you have to do to solve that individual problem. From there, it's just a to-do list.

Get up early

Once you're at a point where you know everything that needs to be done start achieving some of them. You're straight up lying to yourself if you think you're going to want to get anything accomplished after working all day. Get up early before your shift and get something done. Need to furnish your apartment? Stop at the store before your clock in and buy what you need little by little.

Don't get distracted

That's it. All you have to do to get your shit together... is get your shit together. It doesn't happen overnight (if it does for you whats not healthy), and there's no short cut. August is coming and you're not ready, get it together!

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.

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.
