Finals Week (as told by puppies)

Trying to add some brightness to the most miserable week of the year

Finals Week (as told by puppies)

Arguably the worst week of the year, finals week always seems impossible to get through. Hopefully these cute little four-legged friends can help bring some smiles and motivation to all of the college students struggling to make it through these next few days.

When every morning starts off the same way: with at least a gallon of coffee

Keep it coming.

When you've already been in the library for hours, and it's only noon

Looks like it's time for more coffee

You try to continue healthy eating habits

But it's so hard, and you usually just go for the first thing you can find to eat

Sugar gives you energy, right?

Sometimes the hardest part is trying to just stay awake long enough to make it to a meal

Who needs food anyway? Sleep is what's important.

You try not to think about your empty wallet and bank account

If I can just make this $4.73 last until Christmas...

When you're only half way through the week and already struggling to find more motivation

But then you remember that after finals, Christmas is just around the corner, so that makes things a little better

Just trying to be festive while internally crying

Reminiscing on high school when finals were only 10% of your grade


Ah, the good old days. Those kids don't know how lucky they are.

Then trying to calculate the minimum grades you need to pass your classes

And not exactly being thrilled with the results

More coffee

Is there such a thing as too much? ...No, at least not during finals week.

When you only have 2 more finals to go, so you're trying to be positive

But actually feel dead on the inside

Trying to make time for the gym, but it doesn't really work out

Get it? Work out? The thing that you're not doing because you're sleeping or crying or writing five 20 page papers instead

Finally finishing your last final and passing out as soon as you get home

This floor looks comfortable

And staying asleep for at least a few more months

Then when all of your BFFs are finished their finals, you all sprint to happy hour to celebrate

You're super happy to get home for Christmas, but you still need to catch up on some serious sleep

Now all that's left to do is wait for those final grades to be posted...

The anticipation can be killer, but at least exams are over!

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
