5 Reasons to Stay Calm During Finals Season
Kirsten Ocwieja

As we enter the month of May, all students know one thing to be true: Summer is near. As this is all so exciting, the dreaded time of finals is also upon us. Though it is a hard couple of weeks, here are eight reasons to remain calm during finals.

1. HOME!


There is no better place than home. The thought of being free from work while relaxing with your family and friends is one of the best feelings. In addition, being home means driving your car with all the windows down blasting moments.

2. Knowing Your Pet is SO Excited to See You

If you have a pet and are anything like me, seeing your dog is the most exciting thing ever. There is nothing better than summer days with your dogg-o.

3. Knowing You Will Not Have to Eat at the Dining Hall

There is nothing that students hate more than dining hall food, but remind yourself that pretty soon, you will have home made food and access to all of your favorite places in the blink of an eye.

4. Relaxing Time is Ahead

After all the stress of finals, remind yourself that in a few quick days, school will not overwhelm your life for the summer break. Lay in the sun, go for a walk...the possibilities are endless and none involve school work. Personally, I can not wait to attend so many Cubs games this summer!

5. Traveling

Although you might only be traveling to the library at this moment, if you do not have any trips planned right now...take the time over the summer to adventure! Visit friends from school, take vacations, study abroad, do whatever you can to make the most out of your glorious time ahead of you.G

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.
