Tears and coffee galore.

4 Feelings Everyone Has About Finals

Here is my list for the top 4 experiences every college student has had during finals!

1. I got this

The feeling before you look at your notes briefly tricking you into ignorant bliss that there is nothing to fear. You went to class and should be able to learn the information quickly. So you put off studying. You maybe even wait midway through the day before the test to even pull your notes out. This is something that happens more than it should.

2. I don't got this

The feeling you get upon first opening your notes. You glance over the information and wonder where you have been the last couple of class periods. The panic comes over you that you don't actually know what is happening, that maybe you should have opened your notes a couple days ago, and maybe have started making notecards. Who even knew math was so complex?

3. The stress

The stress that comes with waiting until the last minute to look at your notes. You begin calculating what score is needed to pass the class. It takes everything in your not to break down from the stress. The feeling that you should have gone to talk to your teacher to see what that grade you need.The hope is you will not have to stress as much.

4. The tears that come with the all nighter

The tears that come when from sleep deprivation and from studying more than humanly possible. The stress finally gets to you. Unfortunately, for the Java City employee, he catches the stress and caffeine episode, hope he is being paid by the counseling department.This is the time where you are trying to learn everything you did in the class in one night. The night before the test at that. This involves lots of tears and coffee.

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.
