Something I have learned time and time again is that happiness does not just come to you. Happiness is something that each of us can have every single day; there is no person or object that is holding your happiness. It's not even something you have to find, it's something you have to acknowledge. While working towards being happier, repeat at least one of these statements to yourself throughout each day... Studies show that it can increase your belief in the statement.

  • I can and I will do things to promote healing in my life.
  • I can handle this one step at a time.
  • I love myself.
  • My problem has a solution and I will work on a plan.
  • I refuse to give up because I haven’t tried all possible ways.
  • I am important.
  • I am smart.
  • I matter.
  • I am strong.
  • I can find peace.
  • I choose to focus on what I can control.

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.
