The Four Types Of Finals You'll Take

While all finals may seem alike in their torturous ways, here are the four types you're likely to find at the end of your school term.

Finals, finals, finals. That's all we seem to discuss as our classes draw to a close. While everyone can agree that finals are abhorred across any campus, you'll notice that each test has a certain “type” it fits into. So, let's dive in.

1. The unreasonably difficult final.

You know the one. That 200-page cumulative exam that you only get half an hour to finish. That one will probably pop up at least once a year (if you're that lucky). This test tells you one of two things: your professor thinks they're an amazing teacher that taught your class well or, your professor is just itching to make your life a living hell. Either way, chances of passing are far less than ideal.

2. The final you have no excuse not to ace.

If you're lucky, you'll have more than one of these in a semester. It's the final that requires only the most basic understanding of the subject, takes under an hour to complete, and you're 95 percent sure the teacher won’t even read your answers before branding it with an “A."

3. The ghost final.

You know that each class must have a final. That's just how classes go. However, this professor has uttered no words about this mystery test. Asking your professor for any information usually results in a “don't worry about it” or a “we’ll discuss the final later." You may start to worry. You may not. Who knows? Maybe they'll forget about the final.

4. The final that would be easy if you actually paid attention in class.

If you're being honest, you’ll admit that this class wasn't wildly difficult. Had you spent class time paying attention to the lecture instead of rereading the Twilight series on your phone, you might be prepped for this exam. Alas, you’ve made this fatal mistake and now you're left to wallow in regret and useless notes. Once again, happy testing!

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.

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.
