9 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go To My Midterms

Unpopular opinion: midterms are worse than finals. Don't @ me.

It's midterms season. People are crammed inside libraries, weighed down by books, and dehydrated from crying. In my not-so-humble opinion, midterms are worse than finals. At least with finals you're done at the end, but with midterms there's only more studying. So instead of studying for my two exams, one paper, and two quizzes, I thought I'd make a list of things I'd rather do.

1. Go to the dentist.

Hmm...teeth scraping or paper writing? I'll take the lecture about flossing. Heck, I'll start flossing morning and night if it means I can avoid midterms.


2. Be adopted into the Trump family.

I don't care what your political opinions are (I mean, I do, but not for the point I'm making), we all know they're weird robots posing as humans.


3. Eat broccoli forever.

Broccoli is gross. That is all.


4. Get a flip phone.

I am a social media addict, and I embrace it. But I'd rather give up all social media and live in a world with no Twitter feed than deal with midterms.


5. Give up weekends.

Those two holy days at the end of each week, filled with lounging and snacking and laziness. Oh, how I love them. But I'd give them up in a hot second to avoid midterms.

6. Bite into an oatmeal raisin cookie, thinking it's chocolate chip.

Oh, the HORROR.


7. Have a permanent crick in my neck.

Not exactly painful, but just enough to be annoying. Honestly the worst kind of frustration.



8. Have gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

That awkward squelch every time you take a step....the irritation of having to work harder to pull one foot from the ground....I shudder to think about it. STILL better than midterms.


9. Declare my love of Duke.

Wait....wait nevermind, GO TO HELL, DOOK!

There's many things I'd rather do than struggle through the next two weeks until Spring Break. But supporting Dook? Never.

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.

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.
