Exam season is rough, and not just because everyone has lost their will to continue their education in the face of deadlines, tests, and papers. No, for the winter exam season, it seems as if all odds are against students. Not only do we have to prepare for tests, but it's getting colder outside, and nobody wants to go to the library when you can stay inside and watch Netflix from the comfort of a warm, cozy bed. Not to mention it's getting darker earlier, which only makes it easier to convince yourself that there's nothing wrong with skipping the reading and going to bed at 7:30 p.m. It's already dark out after all! It must be late!

But nothing makes the winter exam season more painful than the fact that it's almost Christmas and, let's face it, it's hard to focus on anything with visions of sugar plums dancing in your head!

If you're one of those people who struggles to make it through finals week simply because you can't wait to get home and celebrate the holidays, these advent calendars may be just what you need to keep your spirits up as you count down the days until you're finally free.

Even if you're "not a Christmas person," these calendars have something to offer for the student in all of us because, let's face it, we all need a little Christmas.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Marist College

StableDiffusion

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.
