Second Semester: As Told By 'How I Met Your Mother'
Media Salon

Summer is fast approaching. For me that means exactly 36 days, 22 hours, and 22 minutes from now I will be on my way home... But who’s counting anyways? Lucky for us, our feelings can easily be described by our friends Tedd, Robin, Barney, Lily, and Marshall or better know as the cast from “How I Met your Mother,”.

The motivation to do your work slips away after a week of class


And you aren't sure if you should actually go to your lecture or just stay in bed all day and avoid responsibility.


You realize you've spent all your money from last semester on food.


As the beginning of April approaches, your professors are already talking about the final and how you should start studying early and not 24 hours before.


And since you have so much time left, you decide to go out with your friends every night.


Even when your parents call to ask if you've been studying hard.


And it finally hits you that you should probably be putting a little bit more effort.


So you lock yourself in a room in the library to get some work done.


And pray that you don't have a mental breakdown from all the stress you're now putting yourself under.


By the time finals roll around you're afraid your head might explode with the plethora of knowledge you've forced yourself to learn in the past few weeks.

And during your final presentation you're convinced you'll forget everything you've learned.


But everything falls into place when you finish with the satisfaction that you worked hard to pass your classes so you can finally go home and celebrate.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
