Take It From Someone Who's Been There, Wearing Certain Clothes Can Give You All The Confidence

Listen, I know some people may think that having a good appearance means tons of time and effort, but that's not always the case. Of course, people want to get dolled up for weddings and prom and special occasions, but if we're talking about our day to day lives, something as simple as putting on a cute outfit can make an impact on your overall mood.

Typically when people have their lazy dress days with leggings and T-shirts it's because they want to feel comfy and there's nothing wrong with that! I know for myself personally, I typically dress lazier when I'm sleep deprived, not in the mood to face the day, or just because I also want to be comfy. What I've learned though, is that my days where I put on an outfit and leave the house pleased with the way I look, I feel more confident and elated; two emotions we should always strive to feel.

When I was going through a hardship the 2nd semester of my 1st year of college, I remember specifically looking up "ways to feel better about yourself" and one of the tips was putting the effort in your appearance. I personally have always thought that I had a decent taste when it came to clothes, but after reading that article I decided to push myself a bit more to be 100% with my appearance rather than 85%. Going outside your comfort zone and wearing things that don't always seem like you or your style can be intimidating, but once I broke the ice I felt great! I didn't understand at first how putting on certain clothes could make me feel different. But I learned that doing so can bring confidence to someones well being.

If you're dressing well and feeling good, to strangers, it may look like you have your act together. Isn't that crazy to think about? But it makes sense! Doing so makes you look more approachable and before you know it, you might just notice more people talking to you on the streets; whether it be asking for directions or simply complimenting your features. but that's just a side note! It's important to dress for you and not for others. Wearing that one blouse hiding in your closet, putting on makeup, rocking those stilettos, whatever the case may be, doing so may just surprise yourself and change the way you're feeling which can lead to a healthier well being and lifestyle.

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.
