Finals Week In A Nutshell

Finals Week In A Nutshell
odditymall.com

Finals week is the same on almost every college campus week. Empty, stained coffee cups are everywhere. The same stress can be seen written on every student's face. The libraries are all of a sudden full after they've been half empty all year. Parties are suddenly not a thing anymore. I'm betting these things probably happen on every campus as well.

1. Falling asleep in the library at 3 a.m. because it’s too much of an inconvenience to go all the way back home when you know you have to come right back at like 7 a.m. that same morning.

Why bother? It makes no sense. May as well find a comfy spot in the study room and use your jacket as a pillow.

2. Almost crying at CVS just because they didn't have the right shampoo.

It’s understandable. You’re in a fragile state. CVS should know that.

3. Forgetting to eat dinner because you're studying and realizing at 11 p.m. because all of a sudden you think you're about to die of starvation.

Bring on the dinner of champions. You’ll need all the food just to get through the all-nighter you’re pulling.

4. Procrastinating your final paper with other work.

If you don’t want to work on the 10-page politics paper, don’t worry you can just study for your other 3 exams.

5. Wearing a hat every day because you can’t bring yourself to shower.

If you didn’t workout, who cares? It’s not like you were sweaty.

6. Watching every video there is to watch on YouTube.

This was one of your methods of procrastination but now that option’s off the table.

7. Drinking your first-ever Monster energy drink.

You can ever turn it into a drinking game but since you’re a good student, just replace the beer with that Monster and you’re good to go.

8. Becoming best friends with the kid who’s always next to you on the bottom floor of the library studying.

You get to miserable together. There’s your common ground.

9. Forgetting who your roommate even is because you never see them anymore.

I mean they’ve got exams too. No time for socialization, study, people. Study!

10. Not working out for that whole week just because you’re too tired.

Mentally tired = physically tired. No need to go run 5 miles, your brain just ran 200.

11. Killing 1,000 trees with all the paper you use up.

We’re talkin’ 50-page study guides here people. That’s a lot of trees. It’s your professor’s fault, though.

12. Calling your parents every hour for a pep talk.

“Hey, Mom, I just want to warn you that I’m probably going to fail my Calculus exam. Love you!!” It’s just nice to hear she’ll still love you when you get home. Hopefully.

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.

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.

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.
