Apocalyptic academics.

The End Of The Semester As Told By "The Walking Dead"
AMC

Anyone who has seen "The Walking Dead" is prepared for the apocalypse. Not only did they teach us how to destroy zombies, they also taught us some life lessons.

School can be compared to the apocalypse? Hmm, I'm sensing a trend here..

1. Trying to get through the semester like.


The walks to class have become longer. The clock stops moving (like almost completely) during classes. The work is piling up. Here we are just trying to get through it all.

2. One word. Laundry.

Where on earth did this all come from? Has it always been in my dorm? Oh, that reminds me. I need to go get my stuff out of the dryer.

3. Ramen for one?

At this point, we are all just trying to survive. Let's face it, on a college student's budget, we have to get creative.

4. Trying to describe school.

There are only so many lies you can tell about school. (The college life is great. It's filled with so many new experiences...) Then the stress, lies, pain, agony, and torture of school just take over. (I have slept a solid three hours in the past two days)

5. Stay in school.

I know we are all trying to think of ways to justify getting out of college. So many thoughts can cross our minds. (But maybe I can just change my name and move away.)

6. Getting our lives together.

Where did all these decisions come from? I want to know -- who is making me grow up? I don't like it.

7. When people ask you how you did on the test.


You never tell! Unless they failed too -- then it's just an instant friendship that may or may not last for eternity.

8. When your parents ask you how school is going.


Oh school? Yeah, it's just great as usual. But we'll never tell them about our grades, the classes we've skipped, the note we've missed.

9. To those teachers who are adding on assignments.


No thank you, I've had enough. I am done. No more school.

10. You can't write this paper the day before it's due.

Why do professors even say that anymore? They should know who we are by now.

11. Those late night pep talks.

Everyone has had one with themselves. Sometimes you just need a little motivation to get you through.

12. That teacher who curves the final grades.


You are the best. Sometimes we just need a little break. Or a lot of help.

13. Staying up all night to study for a test.

At first it always seems like a logical idea. Until the sun rises, the birds start chirping, and you realize now that you may actually go to class like a zombie.

14. Those teachers who give finals on a Saturday.


You don't want to be here any more than I do! So just do us a favor and move the final. (Or just give me the "A" that I may or may not deserve.)

15. We're almost done though.

Remember, soon you will have home cooked meals. You will sleep in your own bed. You will not have to worry about homework or classes. It's almost time to relax. Everyone deserves it.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
