5 Thoughts Every College Student Has During 'Nightmare November'

November means falling leaves, bright colors, cool air and is a college student’s worst nightmare.

We all know that we have to crank down and toughen up before relaxing and devouring food during Thanksgiving break. However, it’s not easy doing so much in so little time, and the thoughts that cross every college student's mind during "Nightmare November" only prove it.

So, let's dig deep with an exclusive sneak peak into the life of a college student who is eagerly counting down the days until Thanksgiving Break:

1. Midterms season, you're the actual worst.

Oh, so the final isn’t enough? No worries, Professor, I’ll just drop all of my other classes and stop binge-watching Netflix in order to prepare for the dreaded exam. I could fill an entire blue book on how much other work I could be doing, but don’t worry, my life is being put on hold only for your class.

2. Professors, it's time to take a chill pill.

OK Professor, I almost liked you for a second. Two papers, a group project and 50 pages of reading just for this week, though? Do you not remember that midterm that you gave us last class? No? I mean, it was two days ago, but who hurt you that bad?

3. Oh my God, it’s already mid-November.

Those projects, though? They were just assigned last week! How could they be due … tomorrow? Isn’t it beautiful how time flies when you’re stressing out.

4. Look at me go, with that not quite 4.0.

Not trying to brag, but I’ve run on five hours of sleep and a high junk food intake for about a month now. I have also somehow managed to maintain my academics without fully tainting my mental and physical health. Me, the real MVP? Yeah, I know.

5. I cannot wait to go home.

The reward for all of the hard work is almost here. Just imagine it — football on the TV, a home-cooked meal on the table and a house filled with family. Oh, what pure bliss! Thanksgiving Break, I am ready for you more than ever before.

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.
