Some Final Notes for Finals
Anete

Dead week is a special time in the life of a college student. It is a time where you regret your lack of studying and want to kill the part of yourself that thought procrastination was ever a good idea. Now you have to write those term papers and put the final (beginning) touches on those projects that are 40% of your grade. Needless to say, if you survived the dreadful week of the dead where zombies roam the halls of the Drinko Library, only to emerge somehow a little less dead than before, you can kick Finals week in the butt too. Trust me, I'm speaking from experience here.

Finals never live up to the hype. No matter how hard an exam is supposed to be, as long as you put your best foot forward, you are going to pass. If you are a student at Marshall, that automatically means that you are surrounded by Professors who want you to excel. Professors do not want you to fail - take advantage of that! Ask questions ahead of time and you will get answers.

When it comes to the inevitable stress that surrounds the final week of the semester before it is finally summer break, allow yourself to take a break and breathe. This is vital if you want to perform well when it comes time to settle in and regurgitate all the insane things you learned this semester. Don't forget to take the time to be thankful for the classes you have that don't have finals too! You're bound to get one of those types of classes at least some point in your college experience.

Now, it is time. Step up to the plate, believe in yourself, and do the very best you can. You are capable! Happy Finals Week.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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.
