A Foolproof Way To Get Anything Done

Looking for motivation to finish that essay or maybe read six chapters? Well, look no further! Motivation can be a hard thing to find despite the fact that it can be free. However, as college students, we all know that without motivation (and not the free type), most of us won’t be graduating anytime soon, let alone get out of bed. So here are some steps to help you find the motivation to get that essay (or anything else) done:

  • Go on Facebook: If you don’t have a Facebook make one.
  • Search around, try to find a meme page (this will help your creative juices flow).
  • Tag as many people as you can and share almost every BuzzFeed Tasty video you can find (as long as they have cheese).
  • Realize that Facebook is NOT going to write your paper.
  • Also realize that Buzzfeed offers hundreds of cool quizzes. (Because lets be serious, can you really write an essay without knowing what type of potato you would be?)
  • Take about 5-98 quizzes.
  • Go back to your essay and put your name down, cause hey, how are you supposed to write a paper when your identity is up in the air?
  • Stare at the screen for 39 seconds, but not 40 or else you might go blind (or worse, you might actually start writing).
  • Realize that you didn’t find the motivation needed. (But don’t worry!!)
  • Get yourself up and strut that “I-don’t-know-what-the-hell-to-do” stuff right into the kitchen (or dining hall, just find food).
  • Open the fridge and stare for a whole minute.
  • Close the fridge, then open it right back up because who knows, maybe the thing you’re looking for might just actually appear!
  • Grab the strawberries and pineapple and put them on the counter, that way you can get to the chocolate cake towards the back of the fridge.
  • Put away fruit and take entire cake to your room.
  • While you eat, think about what makes a good essay: the date, a title, size 12 Times New Roman, double spaces, and most importantly, proper margins!
  • Once you’ve completed this, please follow the previous instructions until the night before your paper is due and then cry as hard as you can directly over your keyboard, because just like a garden grows with water and dirt, an essay grows with college tears and a soaking wet keyboard!

Good luck.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
