For as long as I can remember, the left side of the brain, which primarily focuses on the sciences and mathematics, has never agreed with how I enjoy learning. Personally, I am more creative when it comes to my academics, which is why I learn best when it involves the arts, writing, and really anything that pertains to the right side of the brain. In honor of the oh-so-joyous finals week, I figured it would be appropriate to write about the most exhausting subject to learn about: mathematics!

1. After sitting through a lecture, you go back to your dorm to work on your homework and realize you don’t remember anything.



2.When your prof asks the class, “So does that make sense?” you just nod your head because at this point, you don’t even know what you don’t know.



3. Sometimes even doing simple math or multiplication hurts your brain.


4. You’d rather write a novella than have to take a math test.


5. While you’re in class you think about 150 different things that have nothing related to tree diagrams.


6. When someone who is relatively good at math claims that they are terrible at math, you do an eye straining eye roll because you know damn well nobody could be worse at math than you.


7. You still use your fingers to count, even on a statistics exam.


8. Doing mental math has caused actual tears.

9. When you are taking an exam and some of your classmates are using a calculator, and you’re still trying to figure out if Tommy ordered a pizza or a calzone.


9. When your prof says that you can use a notecard during the exam...you, of course, use your resources to the best of your advantage.


10. When fractions are involved, a part of you dies.

11. Even after being in a math class for an entire semester, you confidently know that you learned absolutely nothing. Well, maybe how to find the slope.


12.Every day you thank the good Lord you are one math class away from never taking math ever again.

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.
