It's a slow spiral to insanity.

The Second Half Of The Fall Semester, As Told By 'SpongeBob'

SpongeBob is one of the few cartoons that are still a hit to '90s babies. On a lazy weekend morning or a homework filled Wednesday, you can turn on Nickelodeon and watch a cartoon sea sponge and the people of Bikini Bottom live out crazy shenanigans while living under the sea. SpongeBob was me and my cousins' favorite cartoon growing up — I can remember huge parties at my Mommom's house where the adults were on the porch or in the basement and us 4 oldest grandchildren watched old and new episodes for hours, only to wake up and watch more.

I have decided to honor SpongeBob by sharing some of the emotions all college students feel in the second half of the semester with some of our favorite yellow sponge and his pals most relatable moments.

1. When you forget that you have a paper due tomorrow that is worth 25% of your grade so you have to get out of bed and spend the next 6 hours writing it.

2. When you have been studying the same material for the past 7 hours straight and you finally understand the first 3 bullet points on slide 1.

3. When you have been studying for 7 hours straight and you still don't understand any of the material.

4. When you have an exam that you studied hours for and the first question wasn't on the study guide.

5. When you consider dropping out and moving away but you spent all of your money on a college education.

6. When you get your midterm grades back and then remember your final is cumulative.

7. When you have been awake for 3 days straight and you start hallucinating about what your life would have been like without $40,000 worth of debt.

8.When you leave your last final knowing that you won't have to wake up for your 8 a.m. for a little while thanks to break.

I believe in you! I also hope that they keep making episodes of SpongeBob because I don't know if I will be able to raise kids without making SpongeBob jokes!

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.
