Why Going Back To School Is Actually Less Stressful

As the weather starts to get less hot and humid, and the office supply section triples in size, you know that it is close to time to head back to school. For most people, this is something that is dreaded. Trading late nights for early mornings and days by the pool for days in class. However, going back to homework isn't all that bad. In all reality most people enjoy the routine that the summer just cannot provide. People can get into a structured schedule and it allows for you to be significantly more productive. Plus the social aspect of returning to your friends at school is enjoyable. If you're a person like me, you tend to be happier during the school year simply because you have stuff to occupy your time. As much as I love summer, it is in a way nice to have something to do other than lay around all day. The structure and routine of the day to day life of school is helpful to people who have anxiety or just do not do well without something to keep their thoughts busy. During the summer, it is pretty easy to just choose to do nothing, but in the school year there are likely significantly more obligations that have to be made and these all take up time. It is usually easier for people to stick to diets or workout plans while in school, simply because having a more scheduled life makes it less hard to squeeze it into a time slot. So even though the thought of going back to class might kind of stink, there is a benefit to it. Having more structure in your schedule and world in general can make even a hectic life somewhat easier.

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.
