Dear Students,

This is it.

The moment you've been training for all semester.

For the past week or more, you've been studying as hard as you can, so that you can do your very best, and now the time has come.

So as you're cramming in that last-minute paper, I have something to say, as a fellow student:

I believe in you.

I know that around this time, you're probably used to hearing people telling you that you should be studying more, or that you'll miss your deadlines if you're not careful. You may be feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work left to do, especially as your tests approach.

That's why I'm here to tell you that you can do this. You can get through everything finals week has to throw at you, because you are ready for this. You know the material inside and out, and now it's time to trust that you've prepared enough, because there's no use in worrying about things you can't change.

Take a deep breath, relax, get a good night's sleep, drink a glass of water, go on a run to clear your head. Think about what comes next: break.

That's right, regardless of how finals go, you'll still be getting a month-long break in just one week. This is the final stretch, and just a few short days stand between you and freedom.

So do your best and give it your all, but don't forget that there's always next semester if finals don't quite go the way you'd hoped. Any grade can be fixed with hard work.

Lastly: good luck!

Love,

Your Fellow Student

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
