5 Things To Not To Do During Finals

Don't do these things unless you wanna fail finals. Or, if that's your plan, then do these things!

5 Things To Not To Do During Finals

Finals week is coming up, so it's time to hunker down and try not to have panic attacks that last the entire week. Here are some things not to do during finals.

1. Don't Watch Netflix for Hours

Not a good idea. It's okay to reward yourself wait a couple episodes of your favorite show, but try not to start a new show because you're going to end up binging the whole season instead of studying.

2. Don't Study With People Who Will Distract You

Studying with other people can be great and help you remember things you've forgotten. However, if you have a friend you know will get you off track, don't study with them. One minute you're studying neurotransmitters, the next you're arguing who would win in a fight, Nightwing or Red Hood (for the record, I say Nightwing, but I'm biased).

3. Don't Study the Night Before

Some people can do this and do it pretty well. However, studying the night before doesn't help unless you're really good at memorization. Study over the course of the week for a few hours at a time. It makes a big difference.

4. Don't Party

Seriously, just don't. Party after finals are over. You don't wanna be hungover for your final.

5. Don't Panic

Breath--it's almost over. Take deep breaths, pet some of those therapy dogs the college brings in, and head over to counseling for your anxiety and stress. You can get through this.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
