How to Make it to Winter Break in One Piece

It’s just barely Thanksgiving break and we are all more than ready for snow to be falling and to be home until January. It’s always the end of the semester that drags by, even though we only have three more weeks of classes and then Finals. Sounds like nothing, but feels like years while we are waiting for our last Final to be over. Here are a few tips that will help you make the most out of the last part of the semester and hopefully get it to go by quicker.

1. Make a Plan

It sounds dumb, but it will really help for you to write down all of your remaining assignments and when your finals are, and plan accordingly.

2. Do things Early

I know it’s something most college kids hate, but if you get assignments done way before the due date, you’ll have more time to spend studying and relaxing for your Finals! Plus, it feels so good to get things done with time to spare.

3. Take breaks

Don’t stress yourself too much over this final stretch. Take time to yourself, even if it’s only an hour between assignments or classes, and let yourself relax. You won’t get anything done if you’re too stressed out to function.

4. Take longer showers

It sounds strange, but allowing yourself a few more minutes in the shower, especially before a final or stressful class, can really help you de-stress.

5. Go to bed early

Or, at least earlier than you usually would. If you’re just looking to get through this semester, this is the tip that will make it feel like it flashed right before your eyes for obvious reasons.

6. Keep healthy

We’re all dreading the end of semester cold. Make sure you don’t get it! Pick up some lysol wipes and lots of water from your local grocery store to help keep the germs at bay. Keeping hydrated and getting enough sleep will be your best friend when you’re trying to stay feeling good while you get through the rest of this semester.

7. Keep positive

If you let yourself fall into the cranky end of semester mood, then everything will seem like it is going by so much slower. Enjoy the rest of your semester, and keep a good attitude, and we’ll get through this together.

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.
