5 Ways You Know It's The End Of The Semester

Anyone else ready for summer??

5 Ways You Know It's The End Of The Semester
The Huffington Post

It's that time of year again...we all know it. That time our brains turn to mush, the work gets harder and more time consuming and all you want to do is sleep. But here are some definite signs you know the end is near and summer is coming.

1. Your workload

Typically, your workload gets bigger and more time consuming and the days get longer. Professors tend to think we do not have a life so why no give us projects, papers, and exams. Maybe throw in a group project (fun, right??). Nothing worse than a group project in college when everyone's schedules are crazy.

2. Your attendance

If you have a large lecture hall type class you will see probably a third in there towards the end of the semester. Which honestly, why would you give up those free attendance points? We all know at the end of the semester every last point counts.

3. Caffeine

The lines at Starbucks tend to be shorter and the Red Bulls start stacking up. Everyone at this point is sleep deprived and is studying and there are not enough hours in the day.This means that you should add on some time to stand in that Starbucks line before heading to class.

4. The weather

You start to get the buzz when you go from wearing yoga pants and leggings to shorts and tanks. Sunglasses are a daily necessity and you see people in Enos hanging all over campus. More people are studying outside and wanting to feel the missed sun on their skin giving you the itch to take a vacation and let summer begin.

5. Sleep

No one loves sleep as much as me. As we are getting closer to May, all I want to do is sleep. Between working and school, I am exhausted. So I highly suggest not partying it up every night and getting some much needed sleep. Your body and grades will thank you.

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.

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.
