A Strong Case Of Senioritis

Its that time of year were we all lose our motivation and wonder why we put ourselves through the stress we call school. There are just a few weeks left in the semester and finals are creeping up quickly. You've gotten away with minimum effort up to this point in the semester but now everything is due all at once as if professors are all in cahoots trying to test your mental stability and sanity and you're just done.

As it gets colder and darker outside, it seems that the magnet in your bed magically becomes stronger making it harder and harder to get up in the morning. Leaving your house is becoming a chore because hot tea and Netflix are so much more attractive than that weird shade of gray outside and misty rain that makes your hair frizz and your face sting. How can you be motivated to go to class when it looks like that outside? And on the rare day that it doesn't look like that you better take advantage because there aren't many nice days left.

With the Holiday's around the corner you would rather spend your time out Christmas shopping than studying for finals. Honestly, you'd rather be doing virtually anything besides studying because at this point you really don't care anymore. You probably don't get that feeling of guilt in the pit of your stomach while procrastinating anymore, and you don't even feel a little shame for calculating out the minimum grade you need on each assignment to still get the grade you want in the class, or even just to pass.

Every year you hear the word senioritis over and over but this is the first time that you're the one saying it. Pretty soon your school career will be over so you want to spend your time hanging out with your friends and having fun.

You think to yourself, "I'm so done with school. I've worked hard for the past 15 years to get where I am, I deserve a break."

Its a familiar feeling every year but this year is a little different. Not only do you not want finals to come because you aren't mentally emotionally or physically prepared for the test anxiety that most of us face, but finals week also means the end of the semester. Before you know it, its going to be your last semester and you have no idea what you're doing with your life, you're so ready to be done but also don't want to deal with graduation yet. But you made it this far, you'll figure it out... when you absolutely have to. Until then, I'll just snuggle up with my blanket and Netflix waiting for May because I have a case of senioritis.

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.

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.
