dslr - How do I permanently set continuous mode on the Nikon D5100?

I'm traveling and I don't have access to my manual, so I'm sorry if it's in there. I flip between modes a lot and tend to use full auto (when family doesn't have patience for me to set something up). I've noticed, however, that the camera reverts back to single shot from continuous. Is there a way to force it to always stay on continuous mode? All google searches just had how I've been setting it through the shooting menu.
