​You Shouldn't Be Sad On Rainy Days And Here's Why

Rainy days are a crazy thing. I say this because it's just a full day of rain and dreariness. It's easy to be sad and down because it's dark and just gray out.

Something I figured out a long time ago, is that rainy days are ideal for getting stuff done. Rainy days are a great chance to go through your stuff and organize and get all that stuff done that you always mean to do, but put off because of other things.

It's like a daily spring cleaning. You get some time to just sit and really just go through stuff. You can organize and even make a bag of garbage of stuff you don't need anymore.

A funny thing about cleaning and organizing is that you don't realize until you're done, how much progress you made. You don't really think about how long a certain area sits collecting dust until you really address it.

There's a certain feeling of the area is different. Whenever I clean my room up, I always try to redesign a little, so I'm not always walking back into the same layout. I feel the difference whenever I walk into the room and it always feels new.

A bit of a flaw of mine is the fact that college is taking up all of my time. I tend to move stuff to my room, but it just becomes these piles until I get to really sit down and go through everything on the weekend, and even then, it's a bit overwhelming.

This past weekend, I took some time and I finally got everything put away and cleaned up that I've been meaning to for at least 2 months, if not more.

None of it was waste, it was just stuff that was sitting in all different places, and I finally got everything where it's supposed to be.

You don't really realize until you organize how much of a difference it makes. It's one less thing to be on your mind. We have to live in a certain situation, so we might as well make our situation comfortable. It's the little things that make a difference.

So, don't be sad on rainy days. Be happy and go through things. Clean up. Not only are you cleaning up your living space, but you'll also be cleaning your mind, and you'll feel free. Free of clutter. Free of thinking about cleaning clutter.

If you've got some time, use it. The clutter only builds, and it only gets harder the sooner it gets handled.

Be ahead of the curve.

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.
