Things College Students Should Spend More Time Doing

We're all busy. This is true. But below are a few things we should all spend a little more time doing. It just might be exactly what we needed.

  1. Sleeping. Obviously. 2. Reading. Reading is so underrated. Not only is it actually interesting and fun if you have a good book, but it’s also a good way to de-stress and better to do before bed than watching TV or scrolling through twitter.3.Doing yoga. Yoga is great and it’s not just for girls. Another great way to de-stress and work out at the same time. Two birds with one stone?4.Making healthy food. It will make you feel better and keep you healthy. Spending the extra 20 minutes/day making lunch/dinner instead of stopping at the dining hall or fast food restaurant can have dramatic effects on health later in life.5.Napping. Same as 1, but not at night time. Just needs to happen more often.(freestocks.com)
    6.Talking to parents or friends from home. They miss us. They deserve our time too. Even though days may be busy, we owe it to them to keep in touch.
    7. Volunteering. I know it's hard to find time even for ourselves sometimes, but there are always people who need help more than ourselves, and it may make you feel more centered and less stressed.
    8. Meditating/listening to music. Take some time out of the day to just chill and reflect.

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.

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.
