Midterms, As Told By The Democratic Presidential Candidates

Politicians don't always say the right thing, but when it comes to midterms, they seem to really know what's going on. Here are the seven most relatable things the Democratic candidates (mostly just Hillary and Bernie, though) said or did during the first Democratic debate.

1. When you have a test tomorrow that you didn't start studying for.

Time to pull an all-nighter. Chugging three cups of coffee in an hour is probably not the healthiest of options but it's a necessity.


2. When your professor sends 1,000 emails reminding you about insignificant things.

Trust me, I know the test is tomorrow, I haven't stopped thinking about it in two weeks. I have the review sheet, thank you. Don't crack a stupid joke to lighten the mood, you are the cause of my premature aging!


3. You and your friend are in the same class and neither of you know what's going on.

It could even be someone you're not friends with, but you come together in confused solidarity. It's always nice to know you're not the only one who's preparing to fail out of school.

4. Your parents call and don't believe that you're actually studying.

"No, Mom, I haven't just been on Facebook for the past three hours, I am studying!" In reality though, have you been studying?


5. You really need a cubical in the library and none are open.

Every second spent waiting is precious knowledge not being learned. Ten minutes can tend to feel like a lifetime, especially in the middle of the night when Jazzman's isn't even open for an apple crisp latte.


6. You hand in the test to your professor and couldn't be happier to be done with it.

Every answer is probably wrong, but you don't have to worry about that anymore. Now you can wipe your entire mind free of the whole subject.

7. It's all finally over and you can enjoy your life again with your friends.

Time to gather the squad and make up for time lost studying. Enjoy the freedom while it lasts. Finals will be here before you know it.

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?

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.
