When stress seems to be bursting at the seams.

Keeping Life Together
S A M S A R A

Running from class to class. Managing work load with your homework load. Trying to pencil in a social life with your friends and family. Somewhere in there is supposed to be "you time". You don't have time to think about yourself, only what's next on my to-do list. Your mind is only seeing in tunnel vision, that your blind to what's actually happening around you.

There is so much on your plate and you're trying to make everyone happy. Trying to live up to expectations within yourself and your family. Your working your ass off and for some reason you not feeling the usual over-whelming feeling. You start to think, maybe I've made progress mentally to not feel super stress or is it that you're not doing enough?

Remember those goals you put into place a year ago, well now on the back burner. Oh, those horrible thoughts you've tried to erase from your mind. They're back and they're creeping into the front of your mind..."You're not good enough", "Wow, congrats. You're back to where you started!!","Why are you even trying".

Months and months of practicing positive thinking seems to slipping through your finger tips. Feels like nothing got accomplished. You're back to the start. You feel like all of your hard work is washed away into the disappoint sea. You think, why am doing any of this?

At the end of the day, you have to pick yourself up. You have to be stronger than you were before. You must give yourself a break from everything. Stress takes a toll on your mental and physical health. Putting your responsibilities into perspective and planned makes your life one step closer to a less stress mind.

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.

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.
