Midterms Week As Told By Sour Patch Kids
Candy Crate

We just recently had midterms here. Luckily, I’m here writing this article so I survived. One of the biggest things that got me through this trying time was somebody that I know I can always count on. They’ll never leave me; I can always come to them in a moment of need. No, I’m not referring to my best friend… well, they might be my best friend… I’m referring to sour patch kids. These little dudes always come in clutch for me. They know when I need a boost and they’re always there to give it to me. As I was buried in studying I realized that my situation can be comparable to that of a sour patch kid.

Professors Are Like Sour Patch Kids Sometimes

“I’m not going to try and trick you on this midterm, I promise. ”Cool, he cares.I’m going to study hard so I’m actually ready for this midterm. I go to get my midterm; every multiple choice question has choices A-F and E is always all of the above and F is always none of the above. The matching is one of those some may be used more than once or not at all deals.Thanks Professor, I’m glad you weren’t trying to throw any of us off our game here. He cares though because he graded on a curve and it saved our lives.

That Horrible Moment When You Realize You Actually Should Have Read

When it’s 2AM And Sour Patch Kids Has You Taking Your Philosophy Too Seriously

What is the meaning of life? Why do we do what we do? Are we really good people? Why am I studying for this midterm? How is it going to make me a better person? DO SOUR PATCH KIDS HAVE SOUR PATCH PARENTS? These are just a few of the questions that plague me when I’m exhausted and just don’t want to learn anymore. Never mind the fact that these are deep philosophical questions so this technically counts as productive studying, right?

Midterms Are Literally The Boring Paper-Like Cousin To Sour Patch Kids

Midterms get a bad reputation (and they probably should), but they can be sweet.It’s terrible to study for them, to take them, and sometimes to get the grade back on them… wait, where was I going with this?

Thankfully, I survived the week thanks to my sour then sweet little buddies, and like midterms week, they’re all gone.

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.
