Wow. Already time for spring break. This spring semester sure is flying by fast, now isn't it? There are many things that all of us college students are feeling right now. It's kind of like a doughnut. The bread/cake part is all of the negative, with our tears creating the icing, and some positive thoughts sprinkled on top with humor to get us all through. Here are just some of the thoughts that all of us are experiencing right now:

1. Wait, how many essays/assignments do I have? Are any optional?

2. It's all good. Due tomorrow still means do tomorrow, even if there's a lot to do.

3. Crap... What's the policy on turning things in late again?

4. How is it ALREADY mid-term season??

5. How much of my final grade is depending on exams???

6. WHERE IS MY SYLLABUS? IT HAS ALL OF THIS INFORMATION. MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE ACTUALLY READ IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER.

7. Okay, calm down. You will be fine, you currently have a great grade.

8. Oh look, all of the grades from this semester are entered online.

9. Oh shit.

10. I didn't think attendance was mandatory...

11. Wow, I guess I need to study and do all of my stuff ahead of time, huh?

12. Well, looks like I won't be sleeping for the next week or so.

13. I am ready for this exam! I studied, and I am really going to try my best!

14. Well, I wasn't ready.

15. Thank God it's spring break.

16. What do you mean I have ten assignments to do over spring break? Why are professors this way? What sick joke is college?

17. I am going to do them over the final weekend, and take break to relax. Why? I DESERVE THIS.

18. After break, I am going to try harder in all of my classes. No more skipping, no more.

19. There really is only two more months of school basically. I GOT THIS!!

Seriously, you got this. You have made it halfway through the semester, you got the second half like it's nothing. Hang in there, and don't stop trying (or start). Summer break is right around the corner, and nothing but sunshine and smiles is in store for you.

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.
