10 Things To Do When You Need A Pick-Me-Up

If you are ever feeling down, or just not yourself, these things might help you feel a little better. It is so important to take care of yourself, to make sure you are doing OK. And if you aren't, take some time to make yourself feel better. Self-care is so important, you come before anything.

1. Make a nail appointment.

If you have a little bit of extra cash around, splurge on a mani-pedi. If you're a college student most nail salons around your campus offer discounts.

2. Get a massage!

These are always good, especially if your feeling stressed. While these can be pricey there are some simple massages that can work within your price point.

3. Take a bath. 

Pop in a bath bomb or some bubble bath, light some candles grab a good book or set up your laptop and watch your favorite show. A relaxing way to unwind and treat yourself to some much-needed downtime.

4. Do a face mask. 

As simple as these are, there are so many different ones out there that aren't that expensive that can do so much for your skin. And it will leave you feeling refreshed.

5. Go shopping!

That shirt you have been eyeing from American Eagle or those shorts from Hollister, go ahead and buy them.

6. Order delivery of your favorite food. 

Get takeout from your favorite restaurant and enjoy yummy food from the comfort of your bed while you watch your favorite TV Show.

7. Get your hair done. 

If you want to color it, color it. If you aren't into changing your hair color maybe just get a blowout or some luxurious curls.

8. Go to the gym!

No matter what you do, if it's just to run or lift weights. A good sweat will make you feel so much better!

9. Clean your room/house. 

A clean space will automatically make you feel better. No matter how messy, if it needs a little tidying up go ahead and do it.

10. Sing and dance!

Play your favorite songs, get up and dance. Sing your heart out, like no one is listening.

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.
