Because only Burt Macklin could handle a job like this.

Finals Week According to Andy Dwyer
www.independent.co.uk

It's finally December! Snow is falling, presents are being bought, and it's almost that one day of the year that everybody waits all year for. It's almost Christmas! But before you can pack your bags and head home for the holidays, you have to overcome this one tiny little disaster called finals week. Whether you're a freshman or a senior, finals week always manages to hit you square in the face. Forget having fun with your friends, now you have to face actual responsibilities. And the only person who can understand how daunting that reality is would be the one and only, Andy Dwyer.

It's the week before finals, so you quickly start avoiding all of the studying you need to do. Anyone want to have an indoor water balloon fight?

But then reality sets in and you actually have to start facing your responsibilities. Forget binge watching your favorite tv show or sleeping in until noon. Finals week means everything suddenly seems dull and depressing.

And then you start to realize just how little you actually remember from the semester. You swear you went to class and did all the homework. But somehow all of that information has completely left your memory. So, naturally your mind begins to wander to all of the other random things in life that you know nothing about.

Or when your professor decides to play a review game, and you inevitably end up on the opposite team of the meanest kid in class. You're already extremely stressed and your emotions are really high, now is not the time for sassy people.

Then you decided to take a study break and make dinner, but even that turns into a serious disaster.

But then you finally do eat something, and it's like a whole new world. You finally start to read your books and look over your notes, and you're honestly amazed at all of this mind blowing information that you didn't know before.

And now it's time to present the group project you were supposed to work on all semester. But unfortunately, you and your group members spent more time socializing then doing actual work. So, you just put some stuff on a PowerPoint and hope it all makes sense.

You stay up all night studying, so your sleeping habits are totally out of wack. Rather than sleeping in your bed, you pretty much just nap wherever you can find some open space. Even if that means sleeping in public places. Don't worry, people will totally just walk around you.

When you finally get done with the test and the person next to you asks how you did, you just pretend to feel confident even though you pretty much guessed on every question.

But then you get your grades back and you somehow managed to squeak by. You have no idea how you did it, but now you don't have to worry about that again until next 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.

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.
