As we all know, social media is a huge part of our everyday lives. It is really easy to hit the follow button without actually thinking about the lasting effect that one choice will have on our everyday lives. We look at our social media accounts at least once per day, which means every person we follow impacts us at least once per day. Whether that impact is good or bad depends completely on what that person posts and how it affects us when we see it. For this reason, it is incredibly important to follow people that not only have a good impact on us but a positive and inspirational one.

Take control of your social media and shape it so that it is a source of hope, happiness, and inspiration in your everyday life. In order to do this, make sure to follow accounts under each of the following ten categories.

1. For Your Brain

Follow an account that will stimulate your mind and encourage you to read a book, an article, or just expand your knowledge like a favorite author, book store, or publisher.

@oursharedshelf

@natgeo

2. For Your Heart

Follow an account that makes you want to be a better person, or just gives you that warm fuzzy feeling in your heart like a cute animals account, non profit organization, or anything else that makes your heart happy when you see it.

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.
