I pulled my first all-nighter of the year last week. Honestly, it was a wild ride that I definitely don't want to go through again.

1. You realize that you need to pull your crap together and start studying.

2. You calculate the number of hours you may be able to get if you sleep right then and there.

Giphy

3. But, knowing that you procrastinated too much, you know you won’t be getting any sleep.

4. Knowing that your roommate is sleeping gives you mixed emotions because you’re glad that at least she can get some sleep, but it makes you sad because you want to sleep too.

Giphy

5. You have an emotional breakdown here and there, but you pull yourself together because time is precious.

Giphy

6. You take a break from studying and start looking at memes to distract yourself from the sad fact that you will be getting zero sleep.

Giphy

7. You regret spending that entire hour looking at memes.

Giphy

8. Before you know it, the sun is rising, and everything feels warm and cozy.

Giphy

9. But, watching the sunrise makes you realize how much time you’ve lost.

Giphy

10. You go to the restroom and see people getting ready to start their day.

Giphy

11. You realize that it’s not a good idea to pull an all-nighter in your room because your bed is right next to you.

Giphy

12. You realize that it’s not a good idea to pull an all-nighter at all because your sleep schedule will get all wacky to make up for all the sleep you lost.

Giphy

13. You tell yourself that you won’t procrastinate next time (or at least try) so that you can get at least a few hours of sleep.

Giphy

I seriously applaud people who can pull multiple all-nighters consecutively during midterms or finals season. You guys are freaking wild. Get some sleep Y'all.

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.
