How we all feel during finals week.

The Stressful "Last Week" Of The Spring Semester
@juju on Pinterest

The month of May is like a love hate relationship with any college student in any grade. We are all happy that summer is among us, but it also feels like we also might drown in our notes and we also feel like we failed every single final project; resulting in us to stress about every grade until our final's are, finally put in.

Stressed is the one and only word to describe what it feels like to get through the last week of college. I am not sure if we actually get more work to do at this time, or if half of us are just super bad a procrastinating. Either way it feels like a million differnt things are going on at once. First of all we have finals in at least one class and spend our free time stressing over how we are going to prepare and study for it. Then we take the final and assume that we did super bad on it , and we are just convinced that if we don't pass this final we will mist likely just die. Soon after we realize that it will take at least 2-3 days for our professors to finalize grades, but in college time that is equivelant to waiting for like 6 month (or at least that's what it feels like). Meanwhile, we are trying to figure out what courses we need to register for next fall or focusing on graduation. It's a wonder we all don't have super good time management skills by now because this last week basically looks like this:

So, here is to the end of the semester. Many of us are finishing up or have already finished up and have already experienced the frustrating and busy "last week of the spring semester." I defiantly do not remember fall semester being this stressful, but summer is among us! Congrats on finishing another semester; time to start stressing about the next one!

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.
