10 Songs For Every Situation During Finals Week
Bonnie Kittle

During finals week I'll take all the help I can get, because, guess what, something always goes wrong. Whether you are a freshman gearing up for your first round of finals week, or a senior preparing for your last finals week ever, we are aware that "stress-station" is right around the corner. Finals week is one of those times when it's perfectly acceptable to shove granola bars in your backpack, put showering on the back burner, and find a permanent study spot in the library. I always love seeing others on campus during finals week because, hey! we are all going through the same thing...and bags under the eyes become a new fashion staple.

So whether you're a rookie or a veteran to finals week, you've seen or will see these situations first hand. Everyone handles stress in different ways and sometimes that includes tears and a box of girl scout cookies.

So let's get to it! Here are 10 songs for every situation that occurs during finals week!

1. When you realize there aren't enough hours in the day to study so you sit and pout knowing you should be cramming.

"More Time" by NEEDTOBREATHE

| Cause I need more time, Just a few more months and we'll be fine |

2. Walking into a final exam that you've studied for! Rare, I know.

"Eye of the Tiger" by SURVIVOR

| It's the eye of the tiger. It's the thrill of the fight. Rising up to the challenge of our rival. And the last known survivor |

3. Walking out of a final knowing you just aced it!

"The Man" by ALOE BLACC

| Well you can tell everybody. Yeah you can tell everybody. Go ahead and tell everybody. I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am |

4. When you just failed a final so "marrying rich" is next on the list of priorities!

"Somebody to Love" by Queen

| I get down (down) on my knees (knees). And I start to pray (praise the Lord). 'Til the tears run down from my eyes. Lord, somebody, somebody (please). Can anybody find me somebody to love? |

5. Calling your Mom after the exam and she asks "So, how do you think you did?"

"Anything Could Happen" by ELLIE GOULDING

| I knew the panic was over ....Since we found out. That anything could happen |

6. When your study partner knows a heck of a lot more than you do.

"Latch" by DISCLOSURE

| Now I’ve got you in my space. I won’t let go of you |

7. Walking into finals week knowing the future doesn't look bright.

hey we've all been there.

"Wake Me Up" by AVICII

| So wake me up when it's all over. When I'm wiser and I'm older. All this time I was finding myself |

8. When the professor asks the class "Is everyone ready to take the exam?" and one kid decides to ask every question they've ever had about the class.

"I Will Wait" by MUMFORD + SONS

| And I will wait, I will wait for you |

9. In the middle of the exam, realizing you can't think because sleep isn't on the schedule.

"Take a Walk" by PASSION PIT

| I'm just too much a coward. To admit when I'm in need. I took a walk |

10. When other classmates tell you how hard the exam is. And then you walk out with an A!

"Second Wind" by Maren Morris

| Say what you want about me. Your words are gasoline on my fire. You can hate me, underestimate me. Do what you do cause what you do don't phase me. Just when you think I'm at the end. Any second I'ma catch my second wind |


Here are a few other songs on my playlist! You can check them out on Spotify!

Best of luck to everyone trucking through finals week. Just think about sitting on a beach without a worry in mind!

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.

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.
