With the end of the semester slowly creeping upon us, stress levels are soaring while ambition levels are rapidly declining. It's a brutal time, to say the least, but it is also the moment we wait for all semester because just after finals is a glorious break, well deserved or not.

During this week of pulling all-nighters and constantly calculating your GPA, we tend to all have the same feelings during exams: They're not the best. Correction: they are death. So even though, with the stress and delirium, it may be hard to put all these feelings into words, luckily one of America's most treasured pastimes can perfectly describe them for us: "The Office."

1. Summer is endgame.

How am I supposed to focus on content analysis with summer being so close?

2. Emotional and spiritual death is actual endgame.

Unfortunately, this is true.

3. When someone makes a Quizlet for the entire final and shares it with the whole class.

God bless that beautiful soul.

4. Trying to convince yourself that you can pass all your exams.

Self-encouragement is very important to prevent yourself from drowning in stress.

5. When your professor reminds you that the final is cumulative.

6. When your study group knows the material a lot better than you do.

There is no shame in asking your classmates for help!

7. When you don't even know the answer to the first question.

^ ^ ^ Me to my last two brain cells.

8. When your "easy" class ends up having the most difficult final.

Don't you just love these little surprises? :,)

9. That feeling you get after acing your final.

A rare, but much appreciated feeling.

10. When you can't bear to see another scantron.

SO MANY OVALS.

11. When the information you studied the most is barely on the final.

12. When the delirium starts to set in.

One reason why proper sleep is important.

13. When you turn in your exam and contemplate your future.

"What if I just drop out?"

14. When your professor won't round your 68 to a 95.

The audacity.

15. When your professor disenables the "Projected Final Grade" option on Moodle.

16. When you hit absolute denial.

^ ^ ^ Me to all my professors.

17. When you realize there are only five minutes left to finish the exam.

18. When you realize you need to get a 103 on the final to get an A in the class.

19. When you turn in your last final.

SWEET, SWEET FREEDOM.

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.
