Coming back from fall break is probably one of the most depressing times of the year. After enjoying a few days of forgetting about your current responsibilities, you realize that you have not studied for the midterm the day after break ends. Frantic studying, late nights, and aggressive amounts of coffee.

There is literally no plus side to midterm season.

As I am sitting here trying to study for the three midterms I have in the next few days along with the paper and project I have due, I have created a list of ten things that I would rather do.

1. Burn my tongue on hot coffee

I'm one of those people that gets too excited to drink their coffee and burns the taste buds right off of my tongue. Losing my sense of taste for a few days is still more bearable than failing three midterms.

2. Stub my toe

The pain is extraordinary, but also temporary. How long is that E on your transcript going to last?

3. Get a paper cut

This one kind of goes hand in hand with studying, but if 100 paper cuts meant I could skip all of my midterms, I'd probably agree.

4. Walk across campus in the frigid Michigan winter

My face is only temporarily numb, right?

5. Hear a spoiler for my favorite TV show

When you have yet to watch the new episode of your favorite show and the whole world knows what happened, you're bound to find out. In comparison to potentially failing out of college, I can deal.

6. Forget my headphones when I'm working out

The only way I can tolerate running longer than one minute is blasting Kiss Me Thru the Phone by Soulja Boy.

7. Forget my umbrella on the stormiest day of the year

When all you have for cover is your denim jacket, you're in for a wet ride.

8. Realize my laptop is at 10% when there is no outlet around

Guess I have to use the Microsoft app on my phone, but hey, at least I'm not taking a midterm.

9. Run a marathon

Running away from my responsibilities like:

10. Trip in front of a cute guy

EVERY time I see someone attractive and attempt to look cool, calm, and collected, I trip as if there was a ghost hole in front of me.

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.

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.
