With finals coming up, stress levels are high. I don't know about anyone else, but when I'm stressed, I cry. That being said, I've cried a lot since starting at UGA, so I've compiled a list of the best places to have a good cry on campus.

1. Founder's Memorial Garden.

There are benches semi-hidden in the garden that are just perfect for a private cry. If those are taken, just crying in the open grass area is very relaxing. The flowers and the fountain help calm down and de-stress. The fountain can also drown out some of the noise if you're a loud crier. This is my absolute favorite crying spot.

2. Couches in the lobby of Moore College.

Moore College is home to the Honors Program. Everyone in there just gets it. Sometimes the secretaries have candy or other snacks, too. Overall, the couches are comfy and usually available. It's sometimes eerily quiet in this building though.

3. Couches in the lobby of Joe Brown Hall.

The lobby is usually pretty busy, so if you're looking for seclusion, this isn't the spot for you. However, the couches and chairs in the lobby are ridiculously comfortable, so it'd be easy enough to curl and up and cry. Also, nobody judges if you fall asleep in them, so crying yourself to sleep is totally okay.

4. Herty Field.

Another bad place for a private cry, but it's still a favorite. There are plenty of benches and grassy areas to sit. There are always people around, so that and the fountain will drown out any sobs. Beware of tour groups.

5. Third floor of the Science Library.

The third floor of Sci-Li has these weird study rooms that almost look like jail cells. They scare me personally, but I've heard they're great to lock yourself in and have a nice cry. Nobody can see or hear you, so if you're a private crier, this is the place for you.

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.

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.
