13 Pieces Of Real Advice From Real Moms To Help You Survive Midterms
Lily Snodgrass

You know those moments when you're stressed to the max and you just need to talk to your mom to make it better? Yeah. We all have them. But, if you've already called her like 6 times in the last 2 days, here are 13 pieces of advice from real moms to help you get through!

1. "Eat some chocolate. Drink some coffee. Study hard."

2. "Jesus is in that hard class with you." 

You're going to be OK.

3. "The worst case scenario is that you don't do as well as you want to. And everything is still OK." 

It's like a hug, but with words.

6. "Remember every other time you said you were going to fail and then you didn't?" 

4. "A bad grade isn't going to keep you from fulfilling your purpose." 

Sometimes all you need is some perspective.

5. "You can't study if you're sleepy." 

7. "You can treat yourself when it's over." 

8. "Stop panicking. You are not going to fail." 

Calm down. You'll be fine.

9. "You can always just marry rich." 

If plan A (getting a degree and a job) fails, you can always just fall back to plan B.

10. "Check your phone. I sent you pictures of our cat/dog." 

Do I need to say more?

11. "Do you have people to study with?" 

Study groups are always a good idea. Sometimes I just need my mom to remind me of that.

12. "Have you gone to office hours?" 

Office hours are a very good thing. Brownie points!

13. "I love you." 

Because sometimes that's all you need.

So if you're having a rough midterms season, just remember all of the lovely things your mom tells you and you'll be OK.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
