You've done it.

You've made it past those dreaded midterm exams, papers, or presentations. What's left? The popular show, Parks and Recreation, describes what's in store for a college student at the end of the semester.

1. When you convince yourself the second half of you'll do better than the first:

Yeah, well a girl can dream can't she?

2. When November 1st rolls around:

It's time to replace those Halloween door decorations with Christmas decorations!

3. When there's still assignments you need the grade for:

The drop period has already come and gone, but

4. When its time to register for spring classes:

Why must be registration be harder than my Fall classes?

5. When an assignment sneaks up on you:

Did you forget about me?

6. When your friends plan an epic roadtrip after a particularly stressful week:

Good music, good friends, simply good things are waiting for us on the road.

7. When your professor, who explicitly stated the opposite in the syllabus, gives an extra credit assignment:

Are you just trying to sugar-coat some awful truth? Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?

8. When you see professors assigned work over Thanksgiving break:

We're so close to the end, but how about I just quit now.

9. When Thanksgiving Holiday finally rolls around:

I'm going to need to eat extra this year to make sure I have enough energy to return to school.

10. When you turn in your last assignment for a class:

So long, Fall '17.

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.
