Finals are in the air and the stress of getting good grades and passing classes is at an all-time high. This causes people to panic and needing a sense of comfort. Some people get care packages from their families or friends, but like me, you weren’t as lucky as those. For those not getting a care package, there are a lot of foods that you can eat to help relax you. Now they may not be the healthiest foods, but they do the job of comforting you. Here are the seven best foods to eat when you need some comfort.

1. Soup

Now personally my favorite is chicken noodle, which helps me feel the best. Now some people like others better, but soup is the one food that helps you feel better just by one spoonful.

2. Mac 'n' cheese

I feel bad for the people who can’t have mac and cheese because in my opinion, it’s the best comfort food there is. Whenever I’m in a bad mood or feeling down I always know I can eat mac and cheese and I’ll feel all better.

3. Mashed Potatoes

Oh my gosh, I don’t even know where to start but I love them so much. I love the ones without the skin, but I can’t get over the comfort it provides. I don’t know what it is but they are magical.

4. Ice cream

Ice cream is another food, and maybe the most popular, comfort food there is. Feeling sad? Eat ice cream. Feeling stressed? Load up on the delicious treat. There are so many different flavors salty, sweet, and even weird ones, that anyone can get their fix with ice cream.

5. Pizza

Pizza has been a cult favorite for so many people and for many years. The so many different forms, sauces, and toppings can make any combination to help someone when stressed or feeling down.

6. Any dessert in general

Any dessert will help comfort any person, no matter what they’re going through. Now I said any dessert because there are so many different ones and they all will help you with any stress you’re going through. Like cake, brownies, or cookies. These are all good and easy recipes students can make in their dorms with a microwave.

7. Candy

There are many forms of candy, sour, sweet, and salty. This is very easy to get in college and help comfort students in their stressful times.

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.
