As many of us are preparing for our finals in the upcoming week, the stress levels go through the roof. We run around trying to make time to study for all of our exams and we don’t give ourselves a chance to rest. It is very important for us to take personal time during our intense academic schedules to keep a clear mind. There are easy ways for us to take the time to sit back and relax and still be able to make high marks on our tests. These simple ways to relax and clear the mind are lifesavers:

1. Face Masks

This is an easy way to relax while reading and doing notes for an exam.

2. Yoga

Yoga is an excellent way to relax your body and uncurl from that stressful studying position.

3. Take a Walk

Taking a walk is one of the easiest ways to just step away from the stress of studying. It’s a great way to get in some exercise during exam week and to escape from the hustle and bustle of the books.

4. Listen to Relaxing Music

Although this may be something you already do, listen to some music that doesn’t have any lyrics. This makes studying for exams easier because you can focus on your material while listening to soothing music.

5. Have a Movie Night

Reward yourself for all the hard work you’ve accomplished!! Have a certain night throughout the week when you get together with your friends to just sit back and watch a good movie.

Hopefully these upcoming weeks won’t be too stressful, and if you find yourself getting overwhelmed just take the time to do a couple of these things and you’ll start to feel recharged and ready to show off how hard you worked!

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.

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.
