Post-Thanksgiving Stretch

Almost there!

Post-Thanksgiving Stretch

It’s always strange, going back to school after Thanksgiving. There are only a few weeks left in the semester, and one of them is taken up by finals. You want to make the most of your time left by going out and having a great time and making lots of memories with your friends. But you also need to study and get yourself together so that you don’t lose those As you’ve kept all semester.

You’ll have those friends who, no matter what the situation is, will say, “You’re not gonna remember that time you stayed in to study…” Then you’ll have the friends who say “You’re seriously going out? I thought you had a test/paper/group project/thesis/final/essay.”

While both points of view are valid, you just have to focus on which one is yours. If you try and please your friends who want you to go out, you’re just going to end up stressing yourself out, because you know you have other things to be doing. If you try and prove to your friends that you do just want to get good grades and put in all sorts of extra hours, you’re going to end up being miserable and regret not going out.

For some of us, the answer is a happy medium. Pick one or two days a week to go out and devote the others to getting things done. You can plan this out ahead of time, maybe while you’re home for the holiday of food, or you can take it week by week and see what’s happening and when.

I know that this struggle will be especially hard for those going abroad or graduating, but there is still time! Have fun, get your work done, and enjoy your time in college; you’ll never get those weeks back.

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.
