5 Expectations for Finals Week

The time is upon us once again: Finals Week. This week rolls around once a semester, twice a year, and it feels like the end as we know it. Everyone who skipped class, doodled instead of taking notes, or passed their iclickers onto a friend will be visiting every teacher begging for extra credit. Everyone who went to class, took notes instead of doodled, and took their friends iclickers will also be visiting every teacher begging for extra credit. No matter how hard you work or how much time you put into your class there is always room for improvement, at least thats what our professors and grades like to show. So here is a list of how thousands of college students will feel throughout the next upcoming weeks:

1. Exhausted

There will be absolutely no sleep. If you're sleeping then you're not studying, and not studying means you will fail. So don't expect to sleep.

2. The emotion hangry becomes real

The only activity that takes place, besides studying, is eating. If you aren't studying then you are munching on cookies, pretzels, grapes, really anything in my way could risk getting eaten.

3. The library is the last place to go during finals week

Everyone may think the library is the one place you should go during finals week, but they are wrong. The library is the most social place in all of campus. No one studies, but they go there so they think they have studied, but in reality they talked to their friends or took 150 study breaks.

4. We learn how to fake it, even if we can't make it

Finals week is the one week where we, as college students, learn how to fake and hide our emotions. We act like we know what the teacher is talking about, we tell our parents (and ourselves) everything will be fine, and we might even dress to pretend like it is.

5. The day after finals is better then Christmas

The blessed day after finals can make anyone smile. You know you're finished and somehow managed to pull it off.

So good luck everyone!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
