18 Stages Of Midterms Week, As Told By 'Riverdale'
@thecwriverdale

As midterm week dawns on all of us unfortunate human beings, we lose so many things. Our free time, our sanity, etc. It might be difficult to believe, but the popular show "Riverdale" offers a multitude of reliability under its dark plot. Please also be prepared for some heavy spoilers.

1. Learning that midterms are coming up without much of a workload on your plate

We all get warned so early, but it never matters at that moment simply because they are all "so far away." Or so we thought.

2. Realizing that you are completely unprepared for them as the dates grow closer

Ignorance is bliss.

3. Saying goodbye to your social life as you know you need excessive time to prepare

Good luck getting out of the library anytime soon.

4. When you start procrastinating because you have very little self-control

Did you really expect anything more of yourself?

5. When you decide to form a study group or get a study partner

Double the trouble, am I right?

6. When you think that studying in a group will make it a lot easier

They need to study, too! You all will get so much work done! Right?

7. When you actually get even less work done because of your decision to study with friends

Yeah, you really weren't thinking, were you?

8. Realizing that midterms are right around the corner and you've still done basically nothing to prepare for them

Back to square one, I suppose.

9. Debating taking the fall into the hole you dug for yourself by not doing anything you were supposed to do.

McDonald's is still hiring. No worries.

10. Coming to your senses and knowing that you can't just give up.

You came to college for a reason. Well, at least you should be here for that reason.

11. Gathering up all of your stress and forced motivation in an attempt to study

You are going to have to get through this anyway you can. You are stressed and miserable, but you are going to try to make that work to your advantage.

12. Getting all of your confidence back after studying for only five minutes

That moment you remember exactly who you are and gain every bit of confidence back in your body is one for the books.

13. Noticing that you've already been working for hours, but you've barely made a dent in what you have to do

Yes, yes there is more. And no, you're not even close.

14. Having a minor mental breakdown

It happens to the best of us.

15. Looking at the mess you made and try to talk yourself into actually working

Maybe you'll get some work done today. If not, are you really that surprised.

16. Changing into an unrecognizable person and getting a lot of work done.

Who even is this? You certainly don't know.

17. Rewarding yourself.

Also very important.

18. Grasping the fact that Midterms are over with and you can finally relax and have fun again.

Life is too short to stress all the time.

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.
