Final season is upon us.

The grades we get on these papers or exams can make or break our grades. This is our final attempt at saving our grades. There is a lot of pressure to do well, because we want to be sucessful. Here is a list of stages everyone goes through when studying for finals.

1. Motivation


You tell yourself that you can do this. All your hard work for this semester is finally coming to an end. You have all your notes, books, and tests that will help you do well.

2. Procrastination


Netflix, social media, and friends all get in the way of your studying. You can't focus. And instead of writing your term paper you're watching Shameless.

3. The Giving Up Stage

Your "breaks" have added up, and you realize you haven't been doing as much work as you would have wanted to.

4. The Freak Out Stage

You tell yourself to stop binge-watching shows and playing stupid games on your phone. It's time to study and focus. You flip open your notebooks and realize you can't even understand your notes, the PowerPoints your professor posted are unhelpful, and you realize you've zoned out during your lectures.

5. The Cramming Stage

24 hours before your first exam. You drink more caffeine in these 24 hours than you have in your entire lifetime. 5-Hour Energy becomes your one and only friend. Whenever you start to fall asleep, you slap yourself in an attempt to wake yourself up.

6. Acceptance


You realize that it's now time to take your exams and that no amount of last minute studying can help you. In a few years, you won't even remember what grade you got on this test.

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.
