Their faces say it all...

10 Times Syracuse Basketball Perfectly Captured The Struggles Of Midterms
Shoobs056

To get through midterms season, I avoided studying by dedicating myself to Syracuse basketball. Win or lose, I was at every home game since returning from winter break to cheer on the team I've been following ever since I was little.

While reading stats and news articles about the team, I realized that the faces they make, sum up how I feel about midterms 90% of the time. Here are some of those faces and feelings:

1. When you try to remain positive and tell yourself, "Only three tests, two projects, and an essay left to go!"

2. When you and your friend plan to study together but you both know full well you'll end up talking smack about other kids in your class.

3. That feeling of "What more could I POSSIBLY take on?!"...

4. ...And then your professor throws another essay and a pop quiz your way.

5. When the kid next to you in lecture tries to explain things to you but you still don't get it.

6. When your professor explains things in detail and you start to understand.

7. That feeling when you don't know the answer to a test question but the professor is looking so you pretend like you're thinking about it.

8. When you walk out of a test knowing you did your best but are fed up with the class.

9. When you're waiting to receive a grade for any assignment ever

10. How your professor looks at you after you passed a test he thought you would fail.


What a team. Good luck with midterms!

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.
