It's one of the most stressful times of year for any college student: midterm week. Not quite the pressure of finals and not quite the same amount of study time, but the same amount of stress. There are a plethora of exams, papers, and projects to fill all of the hours of your week and to drive you insane. The work and stress seem endless, so it is so hard to enjoy yourself and have positive morale.

While I am a college student myself, so I am no expert on dealing with stress, these are some helpful times that have helped me during this stressful time of year.

1. Study with friends.

While you may not be productive 100% of the time it makes you feel a little better that you have people to struggle with. Grab some snacks and hit your favorite study spot with your favorite people are you are set.

2. Bring snacks.

There is nothing better than rewarding yourself to popcorn, chips, or candy after outlining a page or writing a paragraph and celebrating the little victories. Snacks make studying significantly more manageable.

3. Take a few breaks

Studying for many hours straight is not fun nor is it beneficial for productivity. Taking small breaks here and there to get food, take a walk, or grab a coffee can break apart your study day.

4. Try to get sleep

This is extremely hard as it is so easy to stay up incredibly late in the library, but try to give yourself a decent amount of sleep so you are able to function the next day.

5. Coffee and tea help

I am a HUGE fan of coffee because it gives me that extra boost of energy that I need at all hours of the day. If you don't like coffee, no worries, tea has the same effect and you can also drink non caffeinated tea to help you fall asleep at night. Also, nothing is more calming than a nice cup of tea or coffee.

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.
