When you make the decision to take summer classes, usually you are only thinking about one thing...getting closer to graduation. But, taking these classes means that you don't really get a break from campus, so there is a cycle of emotions every student faces when they are taking summer classes...and they look kinda like this.

1. First, you look back on the experience that is finals week

Let's be honest, everything about finals sucks... in every way possible.

2. Then, you realize that the end of finals means that the semester is really over

Dobby is a free elf! Yay!!!!

3. Now, it is time to celebrate

It is time to par-tay!!!!

4. The feeling of relief is real

No more 8 a.m. classes, just fun and sun.

5. But those two weeks of freedom are short-lived because now it's time for the start of summer semester

*Buys cheap bottle of red wine to drown sorrows in*

6. The mourning process can be difficult

The loss of your summer vacation is difficult, so use any means necessary in order to overcome.

7. Slowly, you start to accept your decision

Just keep telling yourself that this is helping you reach your goal of graduation.

8. But you still have serious FOMO every time your friends send pics of their awesome vacations

Like you are happy for them, but at the same time....you hate them.

9. Slowly but surely, you persevere through the semester

Literally, it sucks.

10. Finally, you see the light at the end of the tunnel and you have reached the final weeks of the summer semester

You've almost made it....just keep telling yourself that.

11. Now finals are over, you have two more weeks of break before the fall semester starts...Sooo the cycle repeats

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.
