As seniors, we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but with that comes the senior slump. Going to class, turning in assignments and studying for tests just seem like way to much, we paid our dues and we are just waiting to get out of here. The senior slump sucks but it so important to remember this isn't high school anymore, our grades matter until they hand us that diploma. Not graduating because you failed a class your senior year would be a miserable way to end your college career, so I wanted to share some tips on finishing strong.

Get Motivated - Set long and short term goals for yourself. Your long term goal post-grad can be anything from getting a job to going to med school or grad school. Short term goals can work as mile stones that you can hit throughout the semester so you are on track.

Stay Healthy- Getting sick will definitely throw you off your game. Make sure you are eating right and sleeping. One all-nighter could throw off your entire body chemistry. You want to make sure that you are ready to go and full of energy.

Plan for the Future- After you get that degree you need to have a game plan and its best to get started sooner rather than later. If you still aren't sure what your next step is going to be, sit down with your adviser and make a plan for what your next steps are going to be post-grad.

Have Fun- This is your last year of college, make the most of it. Be with your friends, go have a ton of fun and make lasting memories. But just remember, everything in moderation!

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.
