They're just around the corner and they're probably going to kick all of us in the butt or make the idea of dropping out very appealing. Tons of coffee and energy drinks will be consumed. The thought of all-nighters in the library fills you with dread, especially when you see the amount of material you have to somehow cram into your brain. Thankfully, there are awesome people in the world who have made some songs that might make finals week study breaks a little more bearable, especially if you love a good old rock song and some pop music.

1. "Don’t Stop Believin’" by Journey

It's an iconic song and useful in many situations. From close football games to finals week, Steve Perry's soaring vocals will make you feel like you can do anything. Not to mention the guitar parts that are so much fun to jam to.

2. "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen

Because who doesn't enjoy impersonating all the voices and calling Gailieo's name in a high pitch voice? The genius that is Freddy Mercury created the perfect song to let loose to during finals week. It's oddly relatable, too; the lyrics talk about going away for killing someone and you'll probably feel like the library's prisoner while you're studying.

3. "Careless" by Royal Blood

Change it up a little and throw in some hard rock. It's a song about wishing you cared less, which we all wish we could do once finals roll around. If we cared less and our GPAs didn't matter so much, we wouldn't care so much about making good grades. Regardless, this song will help you get rid of some angst.

4. "Budapest" by George Ezra

Take your mind off your studying and think about European adventures with this cute British singer/songwriter. Who needs exams and a degree when you've got a British dude who's willing to give up everything for you?

5. "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Queen

You'll definitely feel under pressure. Thankfully, that catchy melody that's also from "Ice Ice Baby" will make you feel a little bit better about all the information you're reading but not absorbing.

6. "Dance the Night Away" by Van Halen

Why not take a break and do some dancing in the middle of the library? It would be a great stress reliever, not to mention something everyone involved would remember. And there are plenty of good dancing songs out there to keep you dancing all night.

7. "Keep Going" by The Revivalists

A good song by a good band with a great message for finals. You won't want to keep going after about ten minutes in the library but you know you have to so you pass your exams. Put this song on as you study and the motivation will come to you.

8. "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC

If you don't already, you'll feel like you're on this highway. But you may find yourself on the brighter, less burning hot side once you make it into summer. Even so, it's a good song to keep you on the path while you study.

9. "Help!" by The Beatles

Help may become your motto during finals as you drown in more material than you know what to do with or all the coffee you've consumed. Never fear because the Beatles and summer are coming to the rescue!

10. "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago

This one is for all nighters. It was written in response to another Chicago song called, "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is," which is something you'll wonder throughout finals week. However, this song is about struggling to write songs in the middle of the night, around 3:30am, thus 25 or 6 to four. Those all nighters will make you feel like you're searching for words. But hey, the horn section is killer in this song.

11. "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by The Clash

Finals week makes you seriously consider dropping out of school and giving up. This song won't make you want to stay but it definitely might make you want to go far, far away from school. If not, it'll be a good song to help you deal with the finals week angst.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

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.
