We've all been stuck with that one class that starts at 7:30 a.m. or 8:00 a.m. and we just think to ourselves how utterly ridiculous that classes start that early?! Going in with a negative attitude towards the class for it being so early, can lead to not so good consequences. Usually, it results oversleeping and ignoring the alarm, or waking up for the alarm and turning it off while swiftly going back to sleep knowing you'll be skipping class for another time this week. We've all been through a situation like this and they usually never ended well.

Since 2019 has started and spring semester is creeping on all of us, it's time we change our habits and finally begin attending these dreadful morning classes. It's time to make them a little less dreadful!

1. Go to sleep early.

You definitely won't wake up for that 7:30 a.m. class if you're going to go to sleep around 1 a.m. Get some beauty sleep and go to bed much earlier so that you get enough sleep for your brain to even function. Getting enough sleep will make your body want to get up for the day, so make sure you get some good rest.

2. Eat a healthy breakfast.

Putting some food into your body will wake you up and get you ready for the day. You'll actually make your class this time! Avoid hitting the snooze button a couple of times so that you have time to actually make yourself some breakfast. Usually, I'm not a big eater in the morning, mostly because my body is still tired and drowsy, so I usually bring breakfast on the go, which I recommend if you're just like me.

3. Take a shower before.

Giphy

Showers are definitely key to waking yourself up, and not to mention you feel clean and refreshed. Take some time to take a nice shower before class, it'll make you more eager to go out and actually attend class instead of skipping.

4. Drink water with lemon.

Giphy

Drinking water with lemon makes you hydrated and also wakes up your body a little more. You'll feel refreshed and ready to take on the day. I recommend taking it on the go to all of your classes so you feel refreshed the rest of the day.

5. Sit in the front of class.

Giphy

Sitting in the front of the class will help you stay focused throughout the whole thing and won't make you as tired. The professor will most likely be looking at you more, so hopefully, it scares you enough to stay awake throughout the entire thing.

6. Set a good song as your alarm.

Giphy

If you set up one of your favorite songs as your alarm, you will probably wake up more instead of snoozing. It's such a good song why would you turn it off anyways? This is a good way to wake up and to avoid hitting the snooze button.

I hope that these insightful tips have made you more eager to attend class instead of skipping. It's time to get on track for 2019 and to start attending your classes, even the early ones. Attending class and putting in the effort will get you good grades, so get out of bed, make some breakfast and go to class.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
