"Who Cares If I'm Pretty If I Fail My Finals"

Finally, the semester has come to end and it's almost time for Christmas break; but, there is one small detail blocking your path to rest and relaxation: stress and final exams. You know it's finals week when these are the stages you go through.

1. Mentally preparing yourself

Starting to study is the hardest thing to do because, let's be honest, it's not just reviewing recent information, it's an entire semester worth of information for every class. That is way too much for my brain to comprehend let alone remember.

2. Realizing you know nothing

Seriously though, I thought I understood what was going on in this class - I guess not. Oops.

3. Opening your textbook for the first time

It's better late than never, right?

4. Plan your snacks

Pizza, pop, and Pringles. Yep, we're good.

5. Mapping out time

Wake up at 8 am.

Wallow in self-pity until 9.

Stare at the book until 10.

Watch Netflix until noon.

Realize you have to study at 12:30 but food is calling.

Actually study from 1-3 only to realize that two hours was enough for one day so back to Netflix it is.

6. Realizing you actually have to study...

Now it's time to get serious because even though C's get degrees you want to do better than that.

7. Only to get side-tracked...


Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or Netflix, perhaps, even all four will get you each and every time.

8. Realizing you need coffee...NOW

Is there such thing as studying without coffee? I don't think so.

9. Getting stressed because the exam is soon

The exam is tomorrow and you've studied maybe a total of three hours and you still know nothing and winging it may not be the best option.

10. Exam day

Well, ready or not...

11. Feeling relieved it's over


Even though you're relieved it's over, a little praying that you pass the class never hurt.

12. Explaining to you parents your grades

Just in case the exam doesn't go the way you hope, it's always good to have a reasonable explanation lined up: "The exam was on material we didn't cover."

13. Seeing that you passed!

Praise the lord! You've made it through another semester, time to relax until the next one...

Happy finals week.

P.S. If there is one bright side to this 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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

129214

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.
