  1. You’re sensitive AF. You’re being hella bitchy right now, and you know it. You cannot help it though. The end of the semester is giving you all sorts of feels.
  2. You haven’t been able to go to the gym, and it sucks. You haven’t necessarily gained any weight, but you also haven’t lost any. That’s a problem.
  3. Your sleep schedule is messed up. You don’t actually get to sleep anymore. You just take unplanned naps that usually last up to three hours.
  4. Anxiety levels are high. You feel considerably jumpy and on high alert for any personal attacks aimed at you. Try to calm down. It’s literally all in your head.
  5. Goodbye, healthy diet. You either eat junk food or you don’t eat at all. Either way, you can’t win.

6. You’re tempted to go to parties, but you know you can’t. Just one frat party, please. I swear I’ll behave.

7. You’re startled by the slightest things cause you’re so sleep deprived. You’re extremely jumpy. If anyone taps you on the shoulder or calls your name, you flip out like you’re in trouble.

8. Library sleepovers are lit (but you won’t actually sleep). Maybe it will help you understand what I mean when I say that I keep nodding off as I write this at midnight in the library...

9. You just want to be done with finals so you can go back to your small hometown and hibernate. Take me back to the home turf where I have minimal responsibilities.

10. It’s Christmas Time, and you’re single all the way. What could be more depressing? To be honest, Christmas was a lot more fun when you had a bae to be with.

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

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.
