Exam Week Survival Guide

Feeling stressed out about finals? Not sure what to do? Check out this helpful and fully inclusive list to get your through the week!

1. The only food you need is coffee. Who needs nutrition when you have caffeine?

2. When in doubt, guess. When guessing, always pick the D.

3. When you see an animal, pet it. Animals bring happiness. Who cares if the squirrel is running away -- you chase that squirrel!

4. Write your study guide on your arm. Tell your professor it's a new tattoo.

5. When he doesn't believe you, cry. It never fails.

6. Have you had caffeine in the last three hours? No? Fix it. Your blood is coffee now.

7. Studies have shown that procrastination is the best form of studying. You should study 10 minutes before the exam and then yell at the professor for not giving you enough time.

8. Quiet hours are just a suggestion. Blast your music as loud as you can!

9. Feeling down lately? Pull an all-nighter to make yourself feel alive.

10. Don't have enough time to study? You should definitely spend three hours in line waiting for Refuel. Who cares if it runs out by the time you get there?

11. Crying yourself to sleep is nothing to be ashamed of. It builds character.

12. If you're running late, just drive to class. Make sure not to speed, but to drive straight through the building to the classroom. Please lock your door before going to your desk per NCDOT regulations.

13. Tired? Fall asleep on the nearest surface. Any surface will do. Yes, the sidewalk counts.

14. If you are the first to finish, make as much noise as possible to assert your dominance over your peers as you strut out of the room.

15. Please remember that this time is temporary and will pass. Your GPA, however, is permanent and will haunt you forever.

Happy Finals Week Everyone! I hope these tips made you smile. Please stay safe and sane and remember that we will get through it! Good luck!

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.
