5 Winter Spices As College Students During Finals Week

Which spice are you?

I have been heavily fueling my body and mind with caffeine-filled, warmth-inducing drinks for the last week to push myself through my final exams and submissions. And then I had a thought.

Every time I have a cup of Starbucks chai I am transported to winter time and Christmas and general post-finals thoughts of being home with family and friends. Even if it's June. The mixture of spices and cozy feelings make getting through the hardest parts of my day just that much easier.

So I present to you...winter spices as college students during finals week. Or, how holiday drinks altered my studying experience in the course of just one week.

1. Cinnamon

They're spicy. JK.

Honestly, much like this spice, these are the students that throw themselves into their finals and never lie about how they're doing. They work well and hard, deliver everything they’ve promised, and have a kick-ass party to celebrate afterward.

2. Nutmeg

They’re damn tired by the time the Sunday before finals week rolls around. Just like sleep-inducing nutmeg, they’re the kids you’re stepping over in the library because they fell off the couch while "resting" and haven't stopped snoring for the last hour.

Poor souls. Nap in peace.

3. Hazelnut

Just like this sneaky little syrup, these students think everything is going just fine. They’re seduced by detailed study guides and promises of a relatively simple exam, maybe one they can relax about.

SUDDENLY, you realize that’s never the case and you can never underestimate a final and nothing is never that easy and oh why did you think studying by osmosis was gonna work if it hasn’t worked for the last three years??????

Basically, it’s a major disappointment and you’ve let yourself down by choosing this path.

4. Pumpkin Spice

The spice mix is made up of a bunch of other spices and there isn’t a real definition of what makes something pumpkin spice. Really, there’s no pumpkin involved. It’s just...called that.

Similarly, these college kiddos are in serious denial. I know that watching an episode of Riverdale for “a break”

could be healthy. But not when it becomes binging the entire first season the day before your final. Hope you (we) get our shit together.


5. Ginger

Not one of the most legendary pop stars of all time. Just the spiciest dang thing ever invented that clears up any cold you might have before you even get one.

They’re incredibly confident in their work cause they finished all their submissions a month ago, and started studying before classes began. Just like their hair-counterpart, this college student is a rare breed.

Hope you had a bit of a giggle and enjoy your winter break. Happy holidays!

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.

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.
