In college, April showers do not bring May flowers. Rather, April breakdowns bring May finals. As we regretfully approach this dreaded spring season, I remembered a personal academic hero of mine. Someone who studied hard, overcame the odds, and managed to look fabulous while doing it. None other than Legally Blonde's Elle Woods! If any fictional character knows what a struggle this particular part of the semester is, it's Elle Woods. Without further ado, here is the month of April for college students explained by Legally Blonde!

When your professor says you can't wait to read the book until the night before the final paper is due

I've got news for you, sir. I don't see your words as a warning, but rather as a challenge.

Praying your GPA will be revived like

Here's to hoping my GPA will "bend and snap" not "bend, break, and plummet my goals and dreams into a pool of despair."

Spending time building up your self-esteem


Time spent reassuring yourself doesn't count as procrastination, right?

Which really equates to lying to yourself


LOL yeah, that was a fun time believing I could pull off a 4.0!

When the weather gets nice but you need to study

Totally catch me outside my dorm in a sparkly pink bikini and matching highlighter working on a paper AND a tan!

Dealing with three tests and four papers all happening within two days


Well, that's what I'm gonna tell myself at least.

Dedicating endless blood, sweat, and tears to group projects worth half your grade


My month of April will be showered in tears triggered by never-ending group projects. Who thought it was a good idea to let 50% of my grade rely on other people?!

@ your chances of getting an "A"


Do I have to promise my first born to the gods of Intro to Finance to get an A for the semester? Because honestly, that's the only thing I haven't done.

Finally, when you finish all your papers and projects only to realize finals are a week away


Same, Elle, same. But hey, just think that if you can survive April and May, you'll be able to lay out in your sparkly pink bikini without a highlighter! There's some motivation for you!

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.
