5 Signs Finals Week is Near

Can you tell by the look in your eyes or your billions of coffee receipts?

5 Signs Finals Week is Near
Her Campus

With a little more than just two weeks left of classes, stress is starting to weave it's way through every student's life. From the increase of last minute campus events, everyone suddenly realizing seniors are graduating, seniors realizing they will be graduating, and the magical vanishing of pages between the ever dreaded exam week; here are 5 signs you know finals are coming.

1. College students are taking over local pet stores

Let's face it, the one thing we arguably want more than anything to be sent to us in a care package from home is our dog, cat, rabbit, etc. However, thanks to that probably being illegal and the fact that we'd like to get our beloved pets alive, we flock to the nearest pet store and spend countless hours realizing that while our professors might not love us despite our work at least these animals love us.

2. Coffee shops have to restock on a daily basis

The one thing that every college student lives off of is coffee. It's like gasoline for a car, it wakes us up and keeps us going. When we're empty we either completely crash or are already lined up at the nearest coffee shop to refuel.

3. Library tables have never felt so comfortable

The one thing that we want more than our pets, coffee or passing grades happens to be sleep. We also don't care when or where we get it. This often leads to what should have been some last minute cramming being turned into an additional few hours of sleep.

4. Professors realize they still have half a syllabus left to cover in 2 weeks

I don't know about you all, but it's the worst when professors think they can make up for lost ground by saying they won't cover 8 chapters of additional material in lecture but all 8 chapters plus the additional lecture material needs to be learned before the cumulative exam.

5. You have break down sessions with your friends

Too much coffee, too little sleep and a massive combination of everything going on at once leaves little room for being able to de-stress. Thankfully, we all have someone who we can break down and cry to (or with). Because, let's face it, our friends know exactly what we're going through.

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?

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.
