We all have that one class where you know the final will be rough. Or maybe that's all of your classes. Whatever the case may be, we have all been there at some point. There are those times where you walk out of a final and know deep down that you failed...or at least did not as well as you hoped. You do the walk of shame out of the classroom after you handed your exam in and go find some sort of comfort. There are a few things you can do to make yourself feel better.

1. Comfort food

Sometimes you just need to eat the stress of your pending GPA away. Whether that food is french fries or a nice plate of mac and cheese, it is a well-deserved treat for you from you.

2. Cry

Crying doesn't get enough credit. Sometimes you just have to let out a good cry before getting over it so you can start studying for the next exam. Let it out. It may seem like the end of the world now, but when you are walking across the stage to get your diploma at the end of all this, no one will remember this one exam.

3. Wallow in self-pity

It's okay to feel sorry for yourself. You work hard, you deserve to feel bad for a rough test. Think of all the answers you think you got wrong. It's okay. We live and learn.

4. Relax

That's right. Just relax. You deserve it. Take care of yourself before you start studying for the next exam. Your brain needs a break, you need a break; just give yourself one! It is well-deserved and it will keep you refreshed and ready to retain information for your next test.

5. Sleep

That's one more thing you don't have to worry about. The final is over, you can focus on either another final, or what your summer will consist of. So take that well-earned good night's rest and sleep the full eight hours we were deprived of all semester.

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.

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.
