The Week Before Finals Told By The Real Housewives
Huffington Post

The end is near. As the semester quickly comes to a close, college students everywhere are having the same emotional breakdowns, violent outbursts and tears of frustration. I, along with most people I know, never fail to ask myself at the end of the semester if I will even make it out alive. The only thing worse than the cruel week of finals is the week before. The week before is the beginning of the end. It is the week where you expect to prepare for the stressful upcoming week, but instead this week is anything but that. This is the week where coffee, sweats, and quick naps are essential. A week to question your mental sanity and how you are going to pull this off. Here is your week before finals as told by the Real Housewives.

Cherishing your last few days of freedom

The weekend before your last two weeks is the time to mentally prepare for the chaos that is about to ensue. These are the few days where all responsibilities are ignored and any chance of being productive is long gone.

Opening your agenda late Sunday night

Knowing you have an unbearable amount of work to do within the next 48 hours, but for some reason can't bring yourself to even look.

Yelling at yourself for leaving everything to the absolute last minute

Why you thought it was reasonable to leave two papers, a presentation, a test and a group project all to the day before will never be known.

Proceeding to have a mental breakdown

Asking yourself, "why am I like this?" This is usually where you think about last week and how much time you wasted on Netflix and pointless Facebook videos.

Finally pulling yourself together


Convincing yourself that you've got plenty of time and that your projects won't even take that long. Telling yourself that you are just overreacting, but deep down you know you're in for a long couple of days.

Getting brand new assignments

As if the week wasn't bad enough, there is always one professor that decides to add on a random assignment for no apparent reason.

Spending every night cramming in the library

Trying not to cry in public and reminding yourself that summer is only two short weeks away.

Handing in your last assignment


Feeling so accomplished and on top of everything while still maintaining at least some of your sanity.

But then realizing finals have not even begun

Is it too late to drop out?

In the end, have no fear because you will make it out mostly alive.

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.
