Revamping Your 2015 World

Revamping Your  2015 World

The New Year brings high expectations and even higher letdowns. We always seem to bite off more than we can chew in the New Year and hit the month of June with the failed and fleeting goals we set in January. Living a life that is full is actually much simpler than it appears. As humans, we only truly need the simplistic and most natural moments in life to live completely. Here are some tips to help you focus on LIVING and LOVING your New Year.

Start a Journal.

Write down at least one word every day. This can be a word you saw somewhere, the way you are feeling that day, or a song lyric. Writing even just a little helps center the mind and create something out of the most ordinary of days.

Make Playlists. 

Whether you like Top 100s, classic rock, singer-songwriters, or “have no favorite,” making a playlist every month is a great way to find new music that you really love and keeps you constantly on your toes. 

Read a Book. 

Seriously, no one reads anymore because we would rather scroll through Twitter. However, reading a book can transport you into another world, even if just for an afternoon. But you come back to your world ready to face whatever life throws you. 

Be a Foodie.

Find a recipe, online or in a good old fashioned cookbook, and create a dish that dreams are made of. It’s really not as hard as it seems and the reward of eating your delicious meal after is SO worth it. 

Work Out. 

Blah blah blah, exercise in the New Year. Take a hike or walk around in a new place. Just take a day to be outside and see something new for the very first time. You’ll find something you didn’t know was there. 

Chit Chat.

Have your closest friends over, eat your favorite food, wear your favorite dress, and just enjoy the conversations that flow effortlessly through the night air. 

Remember, Life is supposed to be lived moment by moment. Plan for the long haul, but never let it weigh you down. A fresh start is sometimes all that it takes to lead a successful Life cherished in moments.

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.
