As 2018 is quickly coming to an end, there are a lot of things we have learned about how to "live our best life." And thanks to Cardi B, there is even a song about it. If you're looking to do the same, here are 7 ways to live your best life and the one that you deserve.

1. Put yourself first more.

This applies to your job, friendships, or even with your family members. While it's important to compromise,

2. Practice the art of self care. 

Giphy

Perfect a long day at work or whatever hurdles life throws at you that day. Give yourself an hour or two, pop a bottle of wine, and run a hot bath. You deserve it.

3. Learn how to say no. 

Giphy

If you don't want to go to that dinner party on Friday night? Or the girls night out your bff's are expecting you at? Take this precious sloth's advice and say no.

4. Try to cut out complaining or negative thoughts. 

Giphy

Overtime, the negative talk and complaining weigh people down. If you can learn to minimize it or cut it out completely, things will start to feel lighter and more manageable.

5. Add healthier foods into your diet. 

Giphy

Let me preface this by saying you don't have to go low carb, gluten free, or vegan if you don't want to. But by taking out a few things from your diet and replacing them with healthier options, you'll begin to notice a big difference in many ways.

6. Expose yourself to more positive energy.

Don't let anyone rain on your parade and try to bring you down.

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.
