I recently had a COVID scare when one of my best friends' roommates tested positive. I was negative but still had to stay in my room for 10 days. Here is what I did and what I recommend to stay entertained.

Watch So Much Netflix

It is SO hard to find time to watch Netlfix. As much as I hated being in quarantine, I caught up on so many movies that I wanted to see, and shows that I wanted to finish. It helped me relax and also helped to pass the time.

I wasn't sick, so I wanted to find a way to get some exercise. I had a yoga mat in my apartment, and made sure I took this time to myself. It was good for my mental health.

Open A Book

Ok, I'm so bad with keeping up with reading. I used this time to finish an entire book! I felt so accomplished.

Get Ahead On Work

I got soooo ahead on my studies. Then when I got out of quarantine, I didn't feel overwhelmed.

Always comforting to see the faces of people you love.

Journaling about my feelings and listening to good music always helps to boost my mood.

I hope these tips help you get through your quarantine as much as they helped me. Remember you are helping to keep everyone safe. Don't worry, you'll get through this!

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.

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.
