5 New Year's Resolutions to achieve your best self this 2020:

Get off your phone!

We spend more time as a society immersed in our phones, rather than fully experiencing everything that is happening right before our eyes. However, don't go cold turkey and try to completely forgo it... it won't end well. Try working up to it, by turning off your electronics for an hour, then two, and so on. You soon won't even want to go on it when you realize how much better life is through the lens of your eyes, not your camera!

Eat better

I don't mean constrict yourself to a ridiculously confining diet that leaves you tense and hungry all the time. Eating better implies ingesting food that is good for your body, and makes you feel good too.

Focus on self-love

We all need to to take care of the bodies we have, and treat ourselves with love and care. You will feel better if you put aside some time for yourself every now and then.

Drink more water

I'm guilty of this one myself. Drinking water is good for the face, skin, body, and immune system, and is a excellent goal to have in general.

Workout more

This may be a basic one, but physical exercise is proven to lead to greater emotional well-being and health, and can help bring you to a happier and healthier 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.

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.
