Pre-End Of Semester Emotions Are At An All-Time High

Every college student comes to the point in the semester when their emotions are running all over the place and they just feel absolutely scatterbrained. That time for most student is a little bit before Thanksgiving break, which means that time is currently in effect. This is a stressful time for students because they are so many things due before we reach that week long vacation from going to class and doing homework. Everyone is basically running around campus like a chicken with its head cut off trying not to panic about all of the deadlines that are being pressured onto them all at once. If they're not showing their full panic mode, they are sitting in the library for 12+ hours a day trying to keep their cool under control. There are some people that feel as if they're the only ones going through this, but it happens to everyone at least once. For others it happens three times a semester just depending on what said person's major is. With finals being so close, no one will be able to keep their cool.

The time is so close to be done with classes this semester that procrastination is coming out to play in an extremely bad way. I myself and one of these people who are already just so done with this semester that they procrastinate until the very last second which makes the amount of stress skyrocket through the roof. We all know better than to wait until the last minute, but in all honesty, procrastination takes over your entire brain and makes you not care whether or not you finish your assignment or project. It's a trap! Do not fall for it!

Every student has the breakdown where they just want to drop out of school and work a minimum wage job for the rest of their lives, but we are all better than that. Finish getting that degree and go out into the world with the mindset of becoming the next CEO or the highest position in whatever your job may be after graduation. We have all made it this far, we can continue to keep going. All we need is a little motivational push and about 7 cups of coffee.

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.
