How much coffee is too much?

If you're anything like me, this is probably how you feel about responsibilities at this point in the semester:

Luckily, we only have one week left to suffer through, but the unfortunate part is that the one week is filled with finals. There are a few items all students will need to help them survive this restless week.

1. Coffee

This seems like a reasonably sized cup to start out with.

2. Snacks

Long hours require lots of snacks, so it's best to be prepared in advance to avoid late night runs that take up precious time.

3. Ice cream

Speaking of snacks, it's best to also have lots of ice cream on hand to help cure the mental breakdowns you'll inevitably have.

4. Did I mention coffee?

How anyone can make it through college without coffee completely blows my mind - especially during finals week. Honestly, it's probably most efficient at this point to just absorb it through our skin as well since it's already running through our veins.

5. Frequent hugs

Sure, we may all be freaking out, but there's comfort in knowing you aren't alone.

6. Quality study jams

You'll need at least two playlists for finals week- one for studying and one for jamming during study breaks. Movie soundtracks are a solid choice for studying since they're intended to motivate without being distracting. I personally recommend checking out the soundtracks from the Harry Potter and Inception films.

7. Videos of puppies

Sometimes you really just need to see some cute puppies to de-stress - just don't fall into an endless loop and find yourself six hours into YouTube.

8. Fluffy blankets

Fluffy blankets are absolutely a must, and finals week is no exception.

9. Lots of water

Staying hydrated is extremely important, especially when consuming coffee constantly.

10. Movie tickets

With all the stress of finals, you need something to look forward to. Luckily for us, the new Star Warsrelease is right around the corner.


We all know that sleep is the one thing that won't happen that week, and caffeine is our best attempt to replace it.

However true this may be, it is still important to take care of yourself. Grades are obviously important, but so is your health, so stay safe and finish out the semester strong!

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.
