The Last Part Of The Semester, As Told By Ben Platt

He's just so pure.

The Last Part Of The Semester, As Told By Ben Platt

Ben Platt is a precious gem that nobody deserves.

If you don't know Platt, he is most recently known for playing Evan Hansen in the new hit musical "Dear Evan Hansen."

He's quirky, he's funny and he's insanely talented.

So, who better to describe the final month of the spring semester?

That initial moment when you realize it's April! LDOC is just a few short weeks away! The class that's killing you will soon be over!


...And then the deadlines start coming in. Projects are loaded on. You're drowning in papers. And don't forget those late midterms that professors love to give.

When you start lying to yourself and say that you're going to get everything done the next weekend.

But then, that amazing moment when you actually make it to the library and knock out that five-page paper!

That moment when you sadly look at your grades to try and motivate yourself...

...and you seriously consider dropping out for, like, the 100th time this semester.

When your friends pick you up and remind you that there are only a few days left!

And finally, when it is LDOC at last, and you're looking back at all the deadlines you met. You picked up your grades, you're happy again, and it's t-shirt weather.


Good luck Tar Heels, you're on the home stretch!

And remember, listening to "Dear Evan Hansen" will always put you in a good mood (go check it out if you haven't yet).

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
