I hope this list will help you learn how to live your best life. Enjoy!

  1. Get More Sleep: This one may seem silly and incredibly obvious but I find that when I get more sleep, I am less stressed and down about life. When I really get a good night’s sleep, it sets me up for a better day.
  2. Spend Time With People Who Lift You Up: Surround yourself with upbeat and positive people, their good energy will rub off on you and will help you to live a better life. It is good to find people who can lift you up and support you when you need it the most. These people can come in the form of friends, family, or any other loved ones in your life.
  3. Stop Caring About What Other People Think: This one is hard but it is SO important because at the end of the day, the only person whose opinion matters about yourself is YOURS. It is YOUR life, live it the way that you want to. Be smart about it but as long as you are happy, it is ok.
  4. Spend More Time Outside: This can be as simple as walking to work, if possible, or just taking a second and sitting outside on a nice day. Enjoy the fresh air and soak up the sunshine.
  5. Put Down Your Phone: There are too many distractions in the world and phones are one of them, put it down and enjoy life. Notice the little things. Embrace what is around you. If you can, try to put it down for a little bit of time each day.
  6. Read a Good Book: Find a book that you have been meaning to read and sit down and actually read it. Find one that interests you and give it a try. Reading is a great way to clear your mind and enter the world of another person.
  7. Create a List of What You Love About Your Life: Write down the things about your life that make you happy, start with two or three and add to it as time goes on. You will be amazed at what can make you happy.
  8. Laugh: Laughter is the best medicine. It is always great when you laugh so hard that you cry from something that is so funny.
  9. Worry Less: This one is especially hard for me but I am working on it. I have realized that worrying is not worth it sometimes. Getting yourself sick over something so little is so unnecessary sometimes. Learning how to let things go is better for your health.
  10. Smile More: Smiling is the best way to make yourself feel better, smile and embrace life. Learn how to be your best self!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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:

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.
