5 Facts About The Lie Known As "Dead Week," As Told By Sheldon Cooper
National Public Radio

We are on the verge of summer vacation, and it couldn't come soon enough. However, we must jump the hurdles called: dead week and finals. I know that at some universities they take dead week for what it truly is and have an actual "dead week". With nothing new due and no new material learned. However, my school knows no such thing as what is called dead week. Oh no, we have quizzes, papers, tests, and new material learned in this week! So, I absolutely do not see the point in calling the week before finals week as dead week if the school is not going to take the meaning to heart.

1. When You Realize Dead Week Does NOT Equal Dead Week

Nothing more frustrating then having to finish a ton of work during the so called "dead week".

2.When Your Teacher Starts On New Material

My only question is why??

3.When You Start On A Complaining Rampage To Everyone About How Much Work You Have To Do During Dead Week

Well, I can check this one off of my list!

4. When Everything Your Friends and Teachers Told You About Dead Week Is A Lie

Coming into freshman year of college I thought that dead week was a legitimate thing, however, I soon learned otherwise.

5. Suffering Dead Week Together

Sad to say but we all must band together and suffer the misery of the lie that has been told to us all about dead week.

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.

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.
