So no one told us life was gonna be this way...

Finals Week As Told By The 90s
Google

Remember the 90s? We were small children with no worries about the finals weeks to come. But here we are, years later, dying at the thought of essays, tests, and the final projects that surely await. Even though we didn't know it at the time, the 90s did a pretty swell job of describing finals week.

Waking up and realizing it's finals week

There may will be tears.

Seeing just how many tests and assignments are due in that one week

Is it even humanly possible to accomplish so much in seven days???

"The final will be cumulative"

... You mean I was supposed to remember everything from those other tests?

Looking at the review sheet like

Wait, did we even learn half of this?

Your friends being the real MVPs after spending 2839273 hours in the library

If you were on a diet, you're certainly not during finals. Pizza is life.

Not leaving the library until 3 AM

God bless extended library hours.

And realizing your brain isn't working anymore

(It's probably because you were at the library until 3 AM)

Hiding from your responsibilities

If we just hide, we don't have to do anything, right?

"I think we should schedule every single final on one day" - Every professor ever

It's like they want us to fail!!

Getting halfway through the week and realizing you haven't showered

Dry shampoo is your new best friend - also, messy buns.

Knowing you'll sleep literally anywhere

Sitting still for too long? Nap time.

Drinking your fifth cup of coffee in three hours

Coffee replaces vegetables in the food pyramid during finals week.

...Then realizing you're out of money for said coffee

Check for loose change under couch cushions, the bottom of your backpack, and the pants you wore last week.

Trying to maintain a positive attitude about the current situation

... And failing because the current situation is terrible.

Every essay ever written during finals week

We all know the best proofreading happens after it's been submitted.

Going to office hours and having words for your professor...

"But my dad's not here, and you're a wienie!"

Facing the inevitable defeat that is finals

Suddenly your Google search history becomes "jobs that don't need a degree."

But then realizing it's over! You survived!

Another semester in the books! Stay strong, my friends, stay strong.

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.
