Turning a "Do Nothing Day" Into a "Do Something Day"

We all have those days.

Hello, one and all. Today is one of those "Do Nothing" days for me, I suppose. Lately, I've been having trouble finding the inspiration to do what I normally do–create. I mean, I must've found some inspiration just now to write from absolute boredom; but I've been wanting to do so much more. You know those days when you want to do anything and everything that the world offers you, but you can't seem to find the motivation to actually get up and do it? Yeah, that's today for me. But hopefully, after writing this list, I'll get out there, go to the gym, and paint something incredible. Sometimes all it takes is a quick read through of a list to get you going!

1. Focus on what you want


Sometimes you have an urge to do SOMETHING, but you just don't know what. Time to pop a squat and really think about what you WANT to do on this free day of yours.

2. End all distractions


I know, it's way easier said than done, but PUT DOWN THAT PHONE! If you're dying to go to the park, or get some coffee with a friend, or (I don't even know) go ride your bike, but you keep getting sucked into the virtual world, find the will power to just TURN IT OFF. Take a break for a while. Your eyes and your mind will thank you.

3. Manage your time

Ah yes, the biggest obstacle there is–TIME. If you're on a schedule, but you have some free time to yourself, there's simply not a minute to waste. Do what you have to do, and dedicate the rest of your day to that project you've been meaning to start for the longest time, or that event you wanted to attend, or whatever the case may be.

4. DO

The simplest step, yet sometimes, the most difficult. Do you want to spend your entire day just lounging around? No? THEN MAKE SOMETHING OF THE DAY! :D

That's all I really got for today. See? I've inspired myself to be proactive. I hope I've done the same for you!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
