Where To Study This Semester

With all of the working and school from home lately, I'm sure you can relate feeling like all of your spaces are colliding and it's been hard to find the motivation to get anything done. Here's my recommendations on where to study this semester!

This can apply to studying or getting work done!

1. Rearrange your Room

17. Rearrange your furniture

If your room is literally the only place you are able to get work done, rearrange it.

I understand it's probably not feasible to completely redo your room and buy a new desk or anything, so your best option is likely changing the layout of your room. By doing this, you're giving yourself a mental refresh and if possible, you can try to create boundaries or sections with your furniture placement.

I recently redid my room and got new furniture. I also tried to create more of a bedroom half and then an office half with the placement of my furniture in my room and it has helped me tremendously.

2. Try Different Angles 

Sometimes working in the same spot every day or taking zoom calls for hours in the same spot can just be painful. To help change things up, if you're unable to physically change locations too much, try changing the angle of your desk, seat or laptop. Even just a slight change might help make your day that much more bearable.

Sometimes even just sitting on the floor is enough of a change for me to make it through my zoom class.

3. Try Switching Rooms

If possible, switch rooms with a roommate or take advantage of a closed off living room or any available space. This might not be possible for everyone, but if you can it's really helpful for resetting.

4. Go Outside! 

If all else fails, take advantage of the nicer weather while you still can! I absolutely love taking zoom classes sitting in my backyard on the grass or at our table.

Again, this might not be possible for everyone, but if you're able to this is seriously a game changer.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
