5 Tips For Surviving The Last Week Of Classes

It’s finally here, you guys. The last week of classes is finally here. Better yet, for some of us, it’s the last week of classes of our undergraduate careers. And that’s a lot to grapple with.

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably just now realizing the gravity of the situation. Somehow, it doesn’t matter that I’ve finally reached the point in my life that I’ve been looking forward to for the past four years, because it’s still managed to sneak up on me. It’s weird how much time can pass without me noticing. Like, it’s definitely my own fault for not paying attention, but I think I would like it to check in every now and then.

Anyway, we all deal with big life events in different ways. I’m no different. And this last week of classes (maybe ever? Of my life?) feels very big. So, in order to make the most of this momentous occasion, I have compiled a bit of a list of things to do to survive the last week of undergrad.

1. Watch the entire 'Fast and Furious' series.

There’s eight of them now. Eight. That’s more movies than years I spent in college. So, you know you have a solid undertaking on your hands that will feel better than anything you ever probably did in your undergraduate career. Plus, this is a great chance to watch Dom, Letty, Brian, and the rest of the gang (except maybe Roman) grow up from mere street racers to a bunch of indestructible humans who have saved the planet on multiple occasions. You’ll probably get nostalgic about your own personal growth from an insecure college freshman into an insecure college senior.

2. Sell your textbooks for beer money.

I mean, c’mon, you don’t need them anymore. In fact, you probably checked out after the first week of class, so goodness knows they’d be getting more use as money in your bank account. At least until you drain that money on booze to celebrate your impending graduation. Also, if you’re worried about what your parents might think of this decision, just know that my mom recommended this one.

3. Go out into the woods and bury yourself in the soft earth.

If you’re someone who is feeling increasingly terrified by the massive changes looming in your future, this is the thing for you. What a better way to step back from it all than by disappearing from the above-ground world for a while? The longer you let yourself hang out among the elements, the more that the problems of the world seem less heavy. Plus, mud is (probably) great for your skin.

4. Listen to every song Carly Rae Jepsen has ever produced.

It’s been a long year/month/life. You’ve been working hard (probably) and you deserve to have some fun. I can assure you that Carly Rae Jepsen is the way to do it. Just check out her album E•MO•TION and you will understand. She’s bound to unlock feelings within that you didn’t even believe existed. Embrace it.

5. Find and befriend Steve Buscemi.

It’s not like you’ll actually be doing anything of worth during your last week of classes anyway, so why not abandon everything and set out on a cross-country expedition to find the greatest man on this planet? Just imagine actually finding him, actually being able to have a conversation with Steven Buscemi. Honestly, hanging out with Steve Buscemi would likely be the best thing you could ever possibly do and would advance your life in ways you could never imagine. It might even turn out to be more valuable than anything you ever did in college.

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.
