Winter break is on it's way out and school is coming back to a start. For people with anxiety, this can be a very difficult time. You're going from being with family and seeing only close friends to going back to school with a large amount of people around at all times. Leaving the quietness of your home could make you anxious on it's own. Here are some tips on how to make yourself more comfortable once you get back to school.

1. Go to bed as early as you can

Being around people is rough for people with social anxieties or anxiety in general. I tend to sleep earlier when I'm at school than when I'm at home. Most people find it strange since you should have more of a reason to stay up at school but for me it's the opposite. If you're having anxiety about your sleep schedule or are having trouble getting a good amount of sleep, try to sleep earlier than usual.

2. Nap when you need to

If you feel tired, you nap. Don't hold back because you're afraid of missing out or you feel like you're wasting your day. There is no problem with sleeping when you need to.

3. Listen to your body

Overall, an article can't tell you what is best for you. Know your limits and strengths and do what you need to to make yourself feel better.

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.

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.
