I have two playlists on Spotify- one for working out and one for everything else. The songs on my workout playlist range in artists, from Alt-J to Wale, but they're songs that get me motivated, and help me push through to the end of a workout or run when the cup of coffee I drank before has stopped working (be careful though, because you can get dehydrated if you haven't been drinking water).

Even though spring in Connecticut is still feeling like winter, the weather has been dreary and wet, I'm optimistic it will slowly start warming up and point to sunnier days soon. I'm don't like running when the air hurts my face and I can't breathe, so I’ve been running inside on a dreadmill, erm treadmill.

This past Saturday I went on a six mile run around a lake that's close to my house, and it reminded me of the first time I ate chicken saag (I felt my taste buds opening up and couldn't stop smiling. I'm sorry, I love food).

I recently updated my workout playlist on Spotify and these are some of the songs that got me through my first run of spring.

Me So Bad- Tinashe w/ Ty Dolla $ign, French Montana

The Weekend (Funk Wav Remix)- SZA w/ Calvin Harris

Smoke Too Much- JOY.


Kamikaze- WALK THE MOON

Color Blind- Diplo w/ Lil Xan

Nothing (LCAW Remix)- Vérité

Watch Me- Jaden Smith

No Pain- DJDS w/ Khalid, Charlie Wilson

Sunburn- King Princess


Powerglide- Rae Sremmurd w/ Juicy J

One Track Mind- 30 Seconds to Mars w/ A$AP Rocky

Party on the West Coast- Matoma w/ Faith Evas, The Notorious B.I.G., Snoop Dogg

Baby I'm a Queen-Sofi Tukker

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.

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.
