1. Wear a mask at the airport, on the plane and, even in the bathroom.

I debated including this but I have realized that some people still are not wearing their masks as they should be.

If your mask is not covering both your nose and mouth, you aren't wearing it properly. In order for it to work, you must wear it over both your nose and mouth!

You can make wearing a mask fun by getting a cute one to show off your style or personality. Many retailers are now selling them such as Revolve, Walmart, Target, American Eagle, and many more.

Wearing a mask is the correct and polite thing to do and is highly effective in keeping yourself and others safe.

2. Use only paper documents.

You heard that right. I will not be using a mobile boarding pass. I do not want to have to set my phone on the scanners at security checkpoints and at the boarding gate.

Just imagine all of the places you take your phone and all of the people who are at the airport.

There are millions of germs from all of those people and places. By using a paper ticket I will be protecting my phone and myself from potential bacteria.

3. Pack your own snacks.

By packing my own snacks, I know that my food is safe and has not been exposed to potential bacteria.

I want to be the only person to touch my food.

And, I don't have to worry about whether restaurants are open or not. This protects me and all of the people I would have exposed myself to by trying to order something.

4. Use a throw-away mask.

What I mean by this is that I will be wearing a mask that as soon as I am in my car out of the airport, it will be thrown away. This is so that if my mask has been exposed to anything I will not be exposing myself to it or anyone else who I would have come into contact with while wearing it.

Whether you are planning on flying this month or not until 2021 PLEASE be safe and take appropriate measures!

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.
