Every college student has a different experience with finals. Some have massive amounts of exams, others may not have as many. But there is one thing in common: stress. It is well known that most college students have a stressful couple of weeks between Thanksgiving break and Christmas break to take care of final papers, projects, and exams. This intense rush can make the Grinch a little more understandable than we might expect.

1. Having a ridiculously long to-do list can dominate your daily routine

2. Getting overwhelmed by the workload can bring on some breakdowns

3. Turning the library into a bunker can put some social activities on the back burner

4. Snacking and procrastination are some pretty serious distractions

5. Reading possible essay topics for final exams can go a little bit like this...

6. When professors give extra assignments while you're trying to study

7. Watching people not even cracking open a book when you haven't slept in days

8. Finally getting ready to finally go back home and see your family for Christmas!

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.
