The Beauty In Finally Finishing Your Room

There is nothing like that feeling when you have finally finished staging your room and have made it your own!

I recently moved back into my apartment in my college town and I realized something that stuck with me for days. I really felt like my room was not complete. There was so much free wall space and a picture wall set up with no pictures to hang up. I had been putting off finishing my room for the entire first year of me living there simply because of lack of motivation. Mind you I was very busy balancing school and working, everything else just seemed to take precedence over my room getting completely done. I was over it.

I have always said that my room is my "zen space" because my room is where I like to unwind and be content being by myself. Your room should always be where your comfort zone is and where you feel shows your personality perfectly. Since I finally got the motivation to make my room feel like home, I have been obsessed!! I had such a fun afternoon with my best friend running errands, picking out picture frames, and hanging shelves in my room with her. It definitely was an entertaining sight to see but it could not have turned out better. Not only that but, I finally have pictures hanging on my wall I have had set up for a whole year now!

It is amazing how much better I feel spending time in my room now that I have it completely finished and totally me! It radiates light with the sunflowers/yellows mixed with the whites/tans. At night, it even has a calm feeling to it when I turn my main lights off and turn on my lights sitting on my shelves by my bed. And the best part about it is, I left room to add little things here and there that I might want to in the future! I left room for change! That is the most important thing when finalizing your room is that it is not exactly "final" because you always leave room to switch things up because let's be real...every girl gets the random itch to change the vibe in their room from time to time!

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.

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.
