Finals Week As Told By Buddy The Elf

The time has finally come when semesters are ending, and students are beginning to cram for finals and last-minute extra credit to boost their grades. The only thing on their mind at this time is getting that "A" they desire. It is becoming difficult to get in the holiday spirit due to all of this, and Buddy the Elf shows very well how students feel during this stressful, frantic time.

When you’re doing absolutely everything but the one thing you should be doing...

When students are stressed, they tend to believe that ignoring the situation and hoping all the work will go away will somehow magically happen as a “Christmas Miracle”.

When your teacher constantly says, “You’ll be fine,” just to get you to stop complaining...

They always say it. “You’ll be fine.” “Your grade won’t change too much.” HA- Little do they know, we actually have no idea what the “semester review” is talking about.

When you keep making the same mistake while studying EVERY SINGLE TIME...

Whether it is a single wrong word on a flashcard or saying the opposite of what it should be, the repetitive mistakes tick students off until they are about to reach their breaking point.

When you study material that won’t even be on the final...

Oh, yes. Then, this happens. When you just thought it couldn’t get any worse, you realize that you’ve been studying the wrong material the entire time. Such a mistake often makes students ask themselves why they are even in school in the first place.

When the caffeine finally hits during the study session...

With endless cups of coffee to keep the studying streak alive, the rush hits at the most random moments and intensifies until you crash.

When you tell your parents you will most likely fail the final...

Then, there comes the doubt. When the hours of studying seem to get you nowhere, you accept the fact that you’ll fail, drop out of school and ruin your life (which will not happen even if you think that’s the only option).

But…..when you find out you actually aced the exam...

How did it happen? Who knows. All you know is that you managed to pull it off. With tears of joy and lots of excitement, screaming of happiness is something will likely to occur.

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?

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.
