20 Quotes To Get You Through Finals Week
HeySigmund

With finals week quickly approaching, I think I can speak for us all when I say that I am ready for this semester to be over. We’ve known this week would come, but we have dreaded it for so long, and procrastinated studying until the last minute. Although it will be hard, we will get through finals week, together, and hopefully with only a minimal amount of mental breakdowns. However, if you’re finding yourself at an all time low of motivation, here are some quotes to pick you back up and help you push through.

1. “If you are willing to do only what’s easy, life will be hard, but if you are willing to do what’s hard, life will be easy.” – T. Harv Eker

3. “Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther.” – J. P. Morgan

7. “You’ve got what it takes, but it will take everything you’ve got.” – Unknown

17. “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” – Winston Churchill

18. “If we did all the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.” – Thomas Edison

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.

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.
