Finals week takes both a physical and mental toll on college students at the end of each semester. We barely sleep, only running on caffeine and delirium. We spend all-nighters as we study our brains out, submit essay upon essay, and prepare for final presentations, all while trying not to have a full-blown mental breakdown. A lot of tears, sweat, and blood are shed as we trudge through the never-ending week(s) of exams. BUT we all somehow manage to survive each semester. Here are four pictures that basically sum up the week AFTER finals are over:

Our sleep schedules are so messed up, we basically have a final's week jet-lag. We can't fall asleep until 3 am but then we sleep until noon. It honestly takes the full week after finals to get re-adjusted to a normal sleep schedule.

And when we are awake? Yup. All we want to do is laze around. Whether it's cuddling with your dog, binge-watching Netflix or just taking naps in your boxers, once we plant ourselves on the couch, we aren't getting up.

During finals week, we are so busy preparing for exams and writing papers that we tend to forget to eat and, by the end of the semester, we are so sick of dining hall food, anyway. So, the first week home, all we want to do (besides lounging on the sofa) is eat REAL FOOD! Nothing beats mom's home-cooked meals, which is something you don't realize until you are forced to eat cafeteria food for five months.

We haven't seen our favorite furry friends in five months while we've been away at school and we missed them so much! So the week after finals, we are obligated to annoy them as we try to love them.

Did I mention that we are completely brain dead the week after finals? College is supposed to make you smarter, but I swear I get dumber once break comes around because the last thing I want to do is think.

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.

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.
