A Student Surviving Midterm Season As Told By "Hocus Pocus" GIFs

Halloween is the best. Seriously, it is one of my favorite holidays, and there are so many things off the top of my head that I could list that make it incredible—the candy, the films, the spookiness. Unfortunately, if you're a college student, Halloween winds up being right around the height of midterms, and there's no better way to cope with the stress of exams than describing your life through a series of "Hocus Pocus" gifs.

You wake up, and the air is chilly and crisp. It has become cold enough that you can no longer pretend that your sweatshirt is enough to protect you from the wind, and you force yourself to break out the tough winter jacket.

You head out in search of breakfast, hoping that food will be the cure to knock some sense into you.

But don't forget that you still have to go to all of your classes while cramming for exams at the same time. Remember all of that reading you pushed off? Time to buckle down and try to understand it—or else, you're screwed.

Your friends now realize how stressed you are. You have no idea where to start, and you keep pacing, trying to motivate yourself to excel on these exams.

But it really doesn't help, because you know there's no way you can memorize all the information you've heard in lectures before this exam in the span of a few nights.

Honestly, at this point, you've resigned yourself to failure, and if you wind up doing better, then good on you. But for now, you'll wait for the results like this:

But really, try to put as much effort as you can into your exams. They usually make up a large percentage of your overall grade for the semester, and it's better to do well on them. But if you don't get the grades you want, remember that there's always a next one, and try to move on so you can do better next time. Halloween is right around the corner, and it's always great knowing that you're done with exams!

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.
