Productivity Will Make All The Difference In Your Everyday Life

You probably hated the constant nagging by your parents and/or peers about turning assignments in on time or doing your chores.

Now that you're away at college, you may even be missing the bombarding voices of people telling you what to do right to your face, because it's up to you to find that willpower within to get tasks done. That's just a given when it comes to growing up and living out on your own of courses.

However, we still find it hard to get ourselves to start an assignment, crack open a book to study, or get up to clean our apartment or room. I'm right there with you. The thought of beginning such grueling and tedious tasks can be daunting. These tasks cause a lot of thought or physical work, and we often try to deny it's creeping presence for as long as we can because we can't even think about immersing ourselves in the things that tire or bore us.

Now, I'm taking the time to make it clear that the resultant of these actions feel nothing short of amazing. As human beings, the act of accomplishment feels so rewarding, and that's a feeling that we all can't deny we love a lot. It's also a feeling we can easily obtain when we do ignore those negative thoughts of get up and gearing towards progress.

Allowing productivity to take over will also reflect on our character as individuals. Think about it, if we become somebody who believes in the importance of productivity, so much so that we actually follow through with it, we will never have to worry about the effects of procrastinating, we will never hate ourselves for our actions, and we will probably get our work done more efficiently.

We'll feel motivated and we'll feel the desire to do more. Once we accomplish one task, there's no doubt that there will be plenty more waiting behind it. Though they may not have an immediate due date, we will feel obligated to get the work done. Accomplishments help exceed other accomplishments

Think about all of this the next time you're lying in bed or on the couch on hour four of watching television when there is plenty of productive work you could be doing. I'm not trying to sound like an annoying parent, but this is just genuinely a mindset that has helped me greatly while pursuing my degree, keeping up with extracurriculars, and living on my own.

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.
