How many all nighters have I pulled?

Finals Week Thoughts
Laurel Kearney

'Tis the season of finals week. Tomorrow (Tuesday, December 12th) begins finals week for me. I have already turned in a final paper, and I am preparing for one of my biggest finals. Yes, finals week for some people is a stressful time, however, at the end, we get 3 weeks off. Here are just some thoughts that go through my head during finals week.

1. How much coffee did I have today?

I may or may not have at least one or two cups a day. So for me, coffee is important in finals week. Having that caffeine will help me stay awake as I am finishing up studying for an exam or finishing up that paper.

2. How much sleep have I received this week?

Leading up to finals week, sometimes you are up later than expecting writing papers, cramming for exams and so on. For me, I have been realizing I haven't been getting enough sleep this week however, I do know that once break begins, I can catch up on that much-needed sleep

3. How much vlogmas have I watched?

If you watch any vloggers on YouTube, you know one thing, Vlogmas. Vlogmas is when YouTubers who vlog, vlog every day until Christmas. It's exciting to watch vlogs and it's always a nice study break as you are studying.

4. How many days until Christmas?

You might be counting down the days until Christmas or maybe even have an advent calendar. Yes, we have 14 days until Christmas, not like I'm counting down or anything. But don't forget to focus on studying for finals and not worrying how many days until Christmas.

5. How many more days until I can go home?

You also might have that thought going through your head as well. How many finals do I have left and when can I go home? Just focus on studying, preparing and giving it your all and then you will realize that it's the day you are going home

These are just some thoughts that I have going through my head during finals week. To all of you, good luck on your finals. I know you will do well. Study hard and know that the hard work pays off.

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.
