Okay. So as a college student, many times a week (a day?) I find myself overwhelmed with deadlines and assignments. This means that when something comes along that puts me in a good mood, I enjoy it a lot more. Here are some really, really small things that help get me through my daily struggle on this journey to higher education. :)

1. Laundry Days

Wait... what? Is this real? Yes.

I never did any of my own laundry before coming to school. Back then, the thought of it literally made me anxious. Now, spending a day washing my clothes honestly makes me feel like I have my life together. Adulthood.

2. Getting out of class early

I guess this isn't that groundbreaking. Who wouldn't love this? But making the transition from a high school schedule, I could not be more thankful for those days where I finish up early.

3. Clean makeup brushes

This is actually really gross. But cleaning all my makeup brushes after a long period of avoidance is so satisfying. Especially with the realization that I'm not coating my skin with a thin layer of bacteria anymore.

4. Hydration

Water! I love water. I feel so much better after finishing everything that was in my camelbak. There are so many benefits of some good old H20. Drink up

5. Washing my face

This goes along with the clean makeup brushes thing. Washing my face in the morning wakes me up and makes me feel more ready for the day. Washing my face at night makes me feel like I have nothing else to worry about before bed. Win win win.

6. Healthy Snacks

I have always had a sweet tooth, so it's really hard for me to hold back on sugary snacks. Recently, after forcing myself to chill on the processed foods, I have learned to love eating healthier. I feel so good after I eat an apple or a granola bar mid day. Never underestimate the power of fruit

7. Time to do absolutely nothing

This is very rare these days. Between clubs, practices, homework, sleep and basically maintaining my sanity, having time to just sit is the best feeling.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
