Spring Semester Update
Teagen Trella
It is currently week three of the spring semester of 2019 and here's an update. My skin is clear and I'm happy, what's better than that? I'm also procrastinating less, finishing assignments early, and never running late to class. Hopefully, by the end of the semester, I'll be saying the exact same words. The key to staying on top of your game is organization and prioritization. Here are some things you should consider before going to bed: plan out the entire day, choose your outfit, and meal prep. This gives you time to not think about what to do or what to wear. That means less stress and fewer decisions to make. Casual cute is my go-to outfit choice. Comfortable, but also somewhat stylish. If I feel good, I work better. Next, I prep my meals the night before just in case I get lazy and start spending money when I shouldn't be. Meal prepping is simple because you don't have to cook or wait the day of and all you have to do is warm it up. I can't stress enough how these have helped me manage my time effectively and efficiently.
Finally, put down your phone. Reduce the amount of time you spend looking at that screen and scrolling down different social media platforms. You'll be amazed at how refreshing it is to actually talk and look at people. To actually get your work done and pay attention to the little things in life. I am guilty of grabbing my phone every couple of minutes, but I'm finding a balance between creating content on social media and actually living my life.

On a side note, I read a piece by James Clear that really opened my eyes. Shonda Rimes said, "You don't have to know. You just have to keep moving forward. You just have to keep doing something, seizing the next opportunity, staying open to trying something new. It doesn't have to fit your vision of the perfect job or the perfect life. Perfect is boring and dreams are not real. Just … do" Therefore, don't be afraid of the unknown. It's okay to feel lost and confused, but it's not okay to stop there. Continue to create.

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?

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.
