Social media is making us more addicted

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by the stress of life? We can probably all agree that life is a rollercoaster of up and downs.

Everyone has their own ways of getting freed from drama, whether that's journaling, writing articles every week, or talking to someone that you trust. We are all have our little quirks that makes us who we are. Addictions can be small or big; it just depends how much time we invest in them.

One of them, in the millennial generation, is being on our phones constantly. Whether it's looking on Facebook to looking or researching certain articles. Technology is a big part of our lives — that's not a lie. Does this mean that we should let it run our lives?

Taking a mental break from technology is important. Today's news is so depressing. The only good news we get is from talking to our friends and hearing the good news of their lives. The media is full of drama, from the politics to the school shootings that happen in America. Staying away from the media and having a social life with friends and family can make us happier and helps us get away from the drama that is causing most of our stress today.

Having free time from looking at our phones constantly can be a great way to start new hobbies, to reconnect with old friends we haven't seen in long time, or take that wonderful beach vacation that we have been wanting to take. Disconnecting from the media doesn't have to be a forever ordeal, it can be a couple of months; it all depends how much time you want and how much time you truly spend on social media or looking at news.

In turn, life is too short to be addicted to drama because it causes unwanted stress, it can be misunderstood and misread, and a lot if the news is untruthful.

So be a positive person and live a positive life because we only have one life to live.

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.
