5 Things You Need To Do Right TF Now

Whatever you're doing can't be more important than these things unless you're performing surgery, but if you're reading this while performing surgery then I think you have some bigger problems to deal with.

1. Drink water

Giphy

If your pee isn't clear then you're not drinking enough water (just kidding- I'm no doctor so I have no clue if that's true)! But seriously, if you're a college student or working full time then I'm like 99% sure that you're dehydrated. Don't have any clean cups? Well then go wash one like the adult that you are! Stop making excuses and hydrate, I promise it's not that hard.

2. Eat a real meal

Giphy

A handful of cereal and some crackers doesn't count, and neither does 2 pieces of chocolate and some Pringles, you psychopath. Nobody can do their best work, creative or academic, on an empty stomach, so go find a vegetable or some protein because I know your ass isn't going to the gym so the least you can do is feed yourself routinely. You don't have to be a master chef make a good meal and the internet provides plenty of options too choose from.

3. Take a minute to breathe

Giphy

Stress is just as bad as dehydration or a lack of sleep, so don't forget to take a minute to breathe every now and again. And I mean some deep breaths, not whatever half-assed bullshit you've been doing all day. These breaths are meant to help clear your mind, not keep you in the same funk that you've been in since Monday morning. I know you've heard it before: in through the nose and out through the mouth.

4. Let out your pet

Giphy

If you can't remember the last time that you let your cat/dog/iguana out for a bathroom break then this is your daily reminder to do so. It's not their fault that you were too distracted watching Charlie D'Amelio do the WAP dance to remember to let them out. Also, while you're at it, you should probably go to the bathroom and get some fresh air too (and for everyone's sake, please make sure those are mutually exclusive).

5. Charge your phone

Giphy

I'm not your mom so I'm not going to tell you to take a break from your phone (since that's almost impossible during this pandemic anyways), but at the very least make sure your phone is charged!!! Mine died the other day and was out of power for about 6 minutes, during which my mother called and texted me like 12 times before assuming I was dead so PLEASE do everyone a favor and make sure you can be reached at all times.

Here are five undebatable things you need to do NOW.

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:

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.

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.
