5 Simple Ways To Make Your Living Space A Little More Joyful

This past year has been a bit stressful on all of us. Being stuck at home isn't always the best. Being in the same house all day can be super draining. It can cause us to not enjoy the four walls we're surrounded by each day. During such a tumultuous time, it's important that we try to make the best out of it. Designing a better environment for yourself is an effective way to lighten up your life and create a more positive well-being. These small and big changes can really change your home's vibe and are all worth the try!

1. Play some tunes.

If you're anything like me, music is one the best ways to lighten up the mood. Having some music play throughout the house or just in your own room can enchant your mind. Investing in a speaker or even a record player for your home is the perfect added touch.

2. Get cozy.

Lately, one of my favorite things have just been getting comfy. Wear cozy clothes, pull out a blanket and drape it on your sofa, get some cute pillows, light your favorite candles, pull out some books, or make tea or coffee. The idea is to keep yourself feeling soft, comfortable, and warm.

3. Add a pop of color.

Adding some color to your home can create more of a feel-good vibe. This can be achieved with a colorful rug, a bright bouquet of flowers, or even a fun piece of wall art. It can change the way the room looks and is a good way to add your own personal touch. A colorful spectrum indicates colorful energy.

4. Display artwork.

This one kind of goes with adding color to your home. Displaying artwork throughout your home allows you show some creativity. Whether you buy it or make it yourself, putting up some paintings cab lighten up the room.

5. Deep clean.

Nothing is more de-stressing than a clean home. Cleaning your living space is one of the most effective ways to bring more joy into your home. I know cleaning isn't the most enjoyable thing, but the rewarding feeling after is so worth it. After a nice deep clean, you will bring forth fresh energy and clarity.

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.
