Libraries Are Your Friend

Don't forget the most perfect space to get motivated.

I know as a college student, it can be difficult to buckle down and find time to get all your work done. Even more of a challenge when you are in your dorm room. This is why you should take advantage of your campus library.

1. Peace and Quiet 

Even if you don't go there with the explicit intention of studying at least you get a break from the chaos and stress that might be filling your day. It's so great to surround yourself with people who are also hard at work so that you fill inspired as well.

2. No distractions 

It is much easier not to get distracted when you are not in your room or have your phone nearby with incoming texts. Instead, you can limit the technology and just focus on what you need to finish.

3. More Free Time 

If you finish all your homework at the library, once you get back to the dorm you can feel free to relax and be less stressed about turning in that midnight paper.

4. Habit 

Once you start going to the library regularly, it starts to become a habit and habits can be tricky to break. Every time you go to the library and do work you are training your brain, to finish assignments when you go to a certain place versus another. That way when you sit down at a table you can just start right away.

5. Recharge

This may not be true of every library, but most. Most of the time there is a little charging station or outlets which you can use to charge your phone or laptop. This is the perfect way to make sure you have enough juice for the rest of your classes.

6. Bonus

You can tell your mom you went to the library, and she will be thrilled. Just a little extra boost in the best daughter department.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
