Five Easy Tips To Plow Through A Hard Assignment

I can't stress enough how important sleep is. You can't focus without proper rest. If you find yourself irritable and tired during school work, try a 30 minutes nap. Try not to go over that because you won't be able to sleep that night.

2. You need breaks

Take a ten-minute break. Staying on an assignment for hours without a break can cause you to become stressed, agitated, an frustrated. Go for a walk, watch a short show, get food, do whatever to stay sane and return back to that assignment later.

3. Plan out your assignments in bits

It helps if you can to break out the assignment into bits and pieces so you're not stuck doing it all in one sitting. Maybe do that introduction to that essay in the morning, then the first paragraph at night, etc. This helps calm the anxiety and make the assignment little less overwhelming when a plan is set out.

4. Positive self-talk

Remember, it is just an assignment. In the grand big picture, it is a small important task of your life. Focus, but don't stress so much; you are doing the best you can!

5. Treat Yo-self

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.
