The Mid-Semester Slump, As Told By The Kardashians

All of your assignments and tests seem to get longer, harder, and more frequent when midterm week hits. You're swamped knee-deep in tasks you have to complete and you barely have enough energy to get out of bed. But who would put Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney in the same category as college? Even though the Kardashian-Jenner clan is one of the most famous families in the world, they're more relatable than you think.

1. Waking up and deciding if that 8 AM class is really worth it

2. When you think Starbucks is going to cure your sleepiness, but the only thing it does is raise your heart rate

3. Walking into class and realizing that you have no idea what the professor is talking about

4. When you're supposed to be participating in class discussions but you exerted all of your energy getting out of bed

5. Sitting there, wishing you could be back in your warm, cozy bed.

6. Crawling back into bed after your two classes of the day and vowing to never leave again

7. Getting stressed out because your homework is building up and you're actively not doing anything about it

8. Giving up on your diet or exercise routine because you're so over life

9. Slowly letting all your reading pile up until you have over 300 pages to read for that assignment that's due in five hours

10. Thinking that you might be having a mid-life crisis because your mental state is in shambles

11. Confirming that you're having a life crisis by having a couple breakdowns

12. Calling your mom because you're losing it and she tries to offer you advice

13. When you finally remember who TF you are and that you can totally survive the last six weeks of the semester

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:

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.
