Sometimes life can get you down, but what's important is that you always get back up. There are a lot of things you can do to improve your week, even if it is something small.

Even though it's up to you to make this week great, here are some ideas to get you started:

1. Grow in your faith.

God is good, and he loves you. This week, let your relationship with God grow. It doesn't matter how distant you feel from him right now. He is always there and always loves you and is ready for you no matter what.

2. Stop saying "I know."

This is something I read about in a book, and before it brought this to my attention, I hadn't realized how often I said it. When you make a legitimate effort to stop saying it, you will find yourself listening more closely to others. Instinctually we say "I know" in response to something that we don't actually know, and this is a sign that we are mentally checking out of the situation and no longer listening because we already "know." So the first step to this challenge is to become aware of it, but then to change it and to listen to who you're talking with so you can have an awesome conversation

3. Be active.

Get a good workout in a few times throughout the week. Admittedly, it might suck during the workout but after you will feel great. It can help get your mind off the stress of life, it will make you feel more energetic, and you'll ready to tackle whatever is next in your busy life.

4. Sleep well.

There's nothing better than a good night's sleep— I think we can all agree on that. So get a few of those this week, you'll wake up feeling great and ready to conquer the day.

5. Go the extra mile.

Do everything to the best of your ability. It's so easy to find yourself saying "why bother?" This week only let other people say that, don't let yourself because there is a reason to bother. Just keep working, and get it done. Then at the end, even if you thought it wouldn't be worth it, it will be and your reward will feel great.

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.

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.
