Are you experiencing the mid-semester lull? Are you struggling to find the energy to finish all your work? Are you a senior and is senioritis setting in? We all get stuck during the semester at some point. Spring break is over and the weather is still cold outside, so it still feels like winter. Some days it can be hard to focus and distractions can take over your life. You can ask any college student and they will give you a list of things they do when they are procrastinating.

1. Clean your apartment

This is actually a good one, no one wants to live in a dirty apartment.

2. Re-decorate your room

Rearrange pictures on the wall and things sitting on your desk and dresser. Heck, if you are really motivated you can even move some furniture.

3. People watch

This is really fascinating. Watching how humans interact with each other is really interesting. You can learn so much about someone when you just observe them.

4. Bake

Cookies, brownies, they are all delicious! Everyone always needs a little pick me up.

5. Learn the choreography to a Beyonce music video.

Let's face it, none of us will ever be Beyonce, but we can all try and have some fun!

6. Go on Pinterest and plan your ideal wedding.

Ideas for party planning on the best! and once you go down that rabbit hole, you may never return.

7. Watch tons of celebrity interviews on Youtube

Watching the Ellentube, or any other video on Youtube will get you lost for hours.

8. Binge watch any TV show.

This one is self-explanatory.

9. Play with the Snapchat filters.

The voice changes are really fun!

10. Put on a face mask to improve your skin.

11. Look at old pictures from when you studied abroad and cry.

Everyone has a special connection with the city they studied abroad in if they decided to do so. The pictures will remind you of the good times in college.



Everyone experiences procrastination is different ways, but by the time you have graduated college, most of us are experts. For me, getting started is always the hardest part, but once you get one a roll don't stop and don't let anyone distract you. I put my phone on "Do not Disturb" and try to get as much done as possible.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
