8 A.M. Classes, As Told By Michael Scott
Forbes Magazine

Eight o’clock morning classes are the worst. We've all been there -- having to walk across campus at 7:50 a.m., half asleep, and wishing we were still warm in our beds. Every college student knows the struggle; luckily, we have Michael Scott from "The Office" to help us get through the hard times.

1. Seeing your alarm go off at 7:30 a.m.

2. Showing up to class in a full-on groutfit.

3. Finding out your lectures are on Tegrity.


4. Thinking you did really well on a test, only to find out you did terribly.

5. When your teacher tells you there will be no extra credit.

6. Sitting in class, trying not to fall asleep.

7. Trying to catch up on missed classes, and you realize you have 320 PowerPoint slides to go over.

8. Showing up 25 minutes late, but proud of yourself because you still made it.

9. The computer stops working and you think your teacher might let you leave early.

10. The IT guy fixes the computer ... class continues.

11. Trying to understand complicated concepts on six hours of sleep.

12. Three minutes left of class and your professor thinks he can still make it through eight more slides.

13. Your professor announces there will be no curve on the test.

14. you finally check your grades on Blackboard.

15. Hoping you don't fail your next test.

16. Slowly leaving class, and someone reminds your teacher about homework that was due.

17. Reviewing material before your midterm the night before.

18. Signing up for next semester’s classes and seeing the class you have to take is only offered at 8 a.m.

19. Don't worry, summer is almost here. This semester will be over before we know it.

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.

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.
