1. The Contemplation stage:

You have never been comfier in your entire life. You are positively having the single greatest night of sleep you have had in years when your alarm goes off. You don’t know if you should (or can) get up and you’re silently counting in your head how many absences you have except you’re not really counting because your brain isn’t on yet.

2.The Acceptance Stage:

This is a very hard thing to come to. You’ve been laying in bed staring at your ceiling in the exact same position for quite some time now. Eventually though you start to think about how hard you actually worked to get to your university and all of the things your mom would say to you if she knew you were thinking about skipping class, so you get your lazy butt up and start slowly getting ready.

3. The Rushing Stage:

It’s a slow realization when you finally come out of the bathroom and check the time on your phone only to discover that you spent twenty minutes in there only to be half ready… okay a quarter. You sprint around your room trying to find something clean to wear and two of the same sneakers. You can only hope your t-shirt isn’t on backwards or inside out as you rush out the door with your coffee threatening to scald your skin at any second due to your spastic movements.

4. The IDGAF Stage:

You’re practically hyperventilating by the time you get in your car to drive to campus when you realize that there’s just no way you’re going to make it on time, and then that you don’t actually really care that much.At least you are showing up today! At most you’ll miss your professor giving his unnecessary ‘week ahead’ speech which you don’t need to hear because you’ll be there for all of that anyway…. hopefully.

5. The Reminiscent stage:

As you finally get to class and look over at the girl who sits beside you’s book, you turn to the correct page and settle in your 100 year old plastic seat. You half listen to the professor as he’s reading out the first paragraph, and as you’re scanning the page you realize you haven’t actually read any of it.Why do you need to know what happens to MacBeth anyway? Is anyone ever going to ask you that in an interview? Your mind then drifts off to the more pleasant times spent in a classroom. The days when the big assignment was finger painting and nap time was a necessity.You can still feel the salt on your fingers as you ate your goldfish around the circular table in the middle of the room and- you get called on by your professor.

Hold up- what was the question? Who wrote this play again?

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.

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.
