10 Stages of a Mid-Semester Crisis
DU Beat

Well everyone, we have reached that point in the semester again. Everything was all fine and we were coasting through. But now that midterms are over, it hits us: we are halfway through the semester. Panic sets in and we start considering if college is really for us. So if you’re in any or all of these stages now, you are in what we call the mid-semester crisis.


1. Realizing your grades are 'average'


2. Calculating how many classes you have to go to for the rest of the semester to get at least a B

3. With that comes also calculating grades you have to get for the rest of the assignments


4. Crying over all the assignments that are due

Everyone needs a little 'wine' and 'whine'

5. Saying that you won't procrastinate anymore


6. But laughing because you know that is total BS


Me:I am going to stay in tonight

*10 mins later*

Friend: C'mon let's go to happy hour!

Me: Ok!

7. "I'm feeling overwhelmed" becomes and understatement

The last place I want to die is school....

8. Asking yourself: "Is it too late to drop out?"


Sorry mom, I'm doing this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

9.Counting down the days until next break


10. But when all's said and done, you have a feeling of accomplishment that you are ~almost~ done

Now if only I can feel as happy as Rob Lowe.....


Alright everyone, well now that you have experienced the mid-semester crisis, it's time to get back on our bullshit! There are 5 more weeks until the end of the semester, so let's finish strong! Don't settle for "C's get degrees" go chase those A's like it's nobody's business!

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?

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.
