11 Feelings I Have When I'm Halfway Through The Semester, As Told By Oprah
Ron Lewis

So, we're halfway through the semester. We probably just took our midterms and now spring break is here. If you're looking for a hearty chuckle before you go back into this semester, you've come to the right article. Oprah is the person I trust the most in the world and I know she can get me through this trying time in the semester, and I hope she can help you too. Oprah and I are here for you.

1. Will I fail? Will I get straight A's? What is the point of life?


I'm very wary of the percentages in Webcourses right now. It seems as though, according to my calculations, I can either get a 98% in each class or a 3%, depending on how hard I try. It's all very suspicious.

2. I have no idea what's going on and, at this point, I'm too afraid to ask.

So, I have come to terms with the fact that, although I paid a hefty price tag for my degree, I have learned nothing and my knowledge is deteriorating slowly. I feel like I know less than I did when I began this semester, and asking for help would make me a fool.

3. I have no patience.

150 words for a reply to a discussion post? It's a no from me. I have put forth too much effort and now all my motivation is gone. So, I'm just going to sit a lot of things out.

4. Summer is so close.

Being able to sleep in every day and sit on the beach is my only motivation. It seems so close, but so far away.

5. But summer classes...

But technically I have approximately two weeks of summer before summer classes start. Then, I'm stuck in the same routine and that just sounds like the worst thing in the world.

6. Looking at my final exam schedule.

Two back-to-back 9:00 am finals?!!?? I'm not prepared for all of the tears and stress of that doomful week.

7. What is the minimum amount of effort I can put in to succeed?

Okay, but here's the tea. If I get a 13% on this final can I keep my grade? No...okay but what if I get a 27%...

8. I'm just going to sleep and maybe it'll be over.

My biggest tip for dealing with stress? Sleep! There's nothing a good nap can't cure, and then all of your problems will just be pushed to a later time.

9. Prepares for the worst.

Okay, say I go into class that day and forget everything I learn, and get a 0% and fail the class. Can I still get a good paying job where I can buy luxury items?

10. Realizing there is no time left.


If I start studying now there is literally just enough time left for me to read 2 chapters out of 50. So, is it even worth it?

11. Reads one page and then goes on twitter for seven hours.

Then, I finally get it together and get back on that study grind. I open my book, while holding back tears, and while I read one paragraph while retaining about two words, I decide to reward myself with online activities.

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.

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.
