The 12 Days Of Finals
Dorianna Gross

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas but first FINALS! Every college student can agree that the last week of the semester is the most stressful and mental breakdown worthy days of the year. All you want is to sip hot cocoa and watch "Elf" for the thousandth time, but your professors have another plan for you. A plan that you often think was fabricated by the Grinch himself. Here are the twelve days of finals as told by a college student. I am sure you can relate.

One the first day of finals my professor gave to me a motivational speech on how to succeed.

On the second day of finals my professor gave to me a two hour review class that started one hour late.

On the third day of finals my professor gave to me three research papers in the format of MLA.

On the fourth day of finals my professor gave to me four extra points on a test I failed anyway.

On the fifth day of finals my professor gave to me five mental breakdowns.

On the sixth day of finals my professor gave to me six thoughts of switching majors.

On the seventh day of finals my professor gave to me seven sleepless nights.

On the eighth day of finals my professor gave to me eight cups of coffee.

On the ninth day of finals my professor gave to me nine crying fits.

On the tenth day of finals my professor gave to me ten pounds of stress weight.

On the eleventh day of finals my professor gave to me eleven course elevation requests.

On the twelve day of finals my professor gave to me twelve years of grade school that I miss oh so dearly. Remember when you wanted to graduate from elementary school? When you thought making it out of middle school was a great thing? When you threw your cap in the air and ran from your high school without looking back? Do you miss it now? I know I do. The week leading up to Christmas used to consist of bagel parties, board games, candy canes and movies in class, but now you’re just praying for a Christmas miracle.

May Christmas be Merry and your GPA be high. Let’s welcome a Happy New Year and an even happier (and stressful) new semester! Happy holidays from your friends at Mount Saint Mary College!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
