Finals week has found us again...the only thing standing between us and a month spent on the couch watching all of our favorite holiday movies. The week before Christmas break can fill you with a mixture of emotions. Excitement for all of the last minute Christmas parties you get to wear your favorite tacky sweater to and the fact that you get a whole month off from school. But also the feeling of denial and exhaustion that come from studying for finals. It seems like the week will never end, but the Griswold's help us see the twinkling light at the end of the tunnel.

1. All your other friends at different schools are already enjoying the end of the semester and you're still preparing for finals.

2. You pull consecutive all-nighters in hopes that your grades will improve, but it just makes you even more tired than you already were.

3. When you think you're almost done but then you realize how much you still have left to study.


4. Experiencing this feeling throughout the week:

5. Finals week is sure to bring a few extra breakdowns along with it.


6. On the outside, you look OK, but on the inside, you feel like the Christmas turkey.

7. When your professor emails you the day before the final to tell you something they've added to the test.

8. When you walk out of your first exam and actually remembered most of the answers on the test.


9. By the end of the week, your brain literally cannot hold any more information.


10. The day when you finish all of your final exams and can finally head home for the long anticipated Christmas break.

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.
