A Playlist To Help With Writer's Block
huffingtonpost

Many times before, I have been plagued with writer's block. It's happened to me as recent as last week, and each time it does occur, I always turn to music, where I never cease to find inspiration. Usually, slow tempo music is what relaxes me the most and tends to bring all different kinds of ideas to mind, and what I listen to really does dictate if what I'll write is good or not. Here's the playlist I turn to in times of writer's block:

Music is something that has always offered me inspiration and comfort. Every time I feel as if I have no more words left in me to write or say, I turn to these songs and the words begin to come to mind, forming sentences then paragraphs, so on and so on. Then, I begin to write again.

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.
