The Very Real Importance of Finding Your Happy Place
Kelly Jones

When you have a stressful day, it is nice to think of another place. For some people, it's just the general picture of a nice and warm sunny beach in the middle of spring (because then it's not hot) with few to no people around. For other's it might be your home, your grandparent's house, the city you grew up in, the park with your dog, the old mall you and your friends used to hang out in. Or maybe it's more of an event like conventions or going to an amusement park. It's very different for each and every person.

All that matters is that this is the stress free place that makes you happy. Not like a kid on the last day of school because that only happens once a year and is very limited and only lasts a small amount of time. But more of the kid (or happy adult) in the candy shop, much more of an ordinary experience, and ends up getting too much candy.

Knowing your happy place is good because you know where to go when you are stressed or sad or just want to relax. You know what makes you happy, which is the most important thing. And who doesn't like being able to make themselves happy with such a simple thing as going somewhere. It kind of makes life less stressful because you know of something that will definitely make you happy. It's kind of the same way as people eating ice cream when they broke up with their significant other or lost their job. If something bad happens you have ice cream. And if something bad happens you have this place.

It could be more than one happy place. I know that I have two happy places that never fail to make me happy.

It will always seem like your place. It will change overtime or maybe not at all but it will still be yours. Even if 100 million people walk the same path as you, that is still your path.

So if you are stressed today or maybe just not feeling 100% go take a drive to your happy place or if it's like my happy place, figure out the next time you can take a trip there.

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.
