Many of us struggle with the same problem… we feel like we get in a rut or out of line and over time our problems begin to pile up, becoming a bigger problem than when they were in the first place. Being in a mood where you don’t feel like yourself is difficult and not everybody knows how to fix it. Personally, I get bored with the same routine: school, sleep, eat, repeat. I am someone who needs to spice up her day in order to feel like I'm accomplishing something. Being a college student isn’t easy, and no one said it would be. Trying to juggle staying healthy, happy, and on top of priorities is not as clear and precise as it sounds.

When out of balance and in need of something to jump-start your life, try using these ideas to help:

1. Go to the gym!

Moving your body, being exposed to fresh air, and breaking a sweat is a

small trick to help you feel alive. It doesn’t matter what is causing your day to be thrown off! Hungover? Go run. Mad? Go lift to release the steam. Working out almost always helps change a bad mood to a good one.

2. Try a juice cleanse

Sometimes all your body needs are a pause on the food you’ve been putting in it. Doing a juice cleanse helps the body detox and reset so that it can function easier.

3. Clean out your closet

Think of it like spring cleaning. Getting rid of old clothes and updating your wardrobe brings forth a “fresh aroma.”

4. Take a “Me Day” and just sleep it off

Many times, the problem isn’t the current routine, its what’s lacking in that routine. As stressed-out college students, we forget that key components to feeling good and staying on top of school work, sleeping, eating healthy foods, and exercising. Recently, I have not been doing any of those which caused my whole schedule to be out of line.

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.

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.
