Procrastination at its finest

17 Things You'd Rather Do Than Look at Your Final Grade

The stress of finals and Hell week is finally behind us… or is it? While actual testing may be over the stress of final grades will be sure to carry on into the beloved Winter Break. For those of us who didn’t do so well on our finals, we’d rather not look at that final grade. Although, we know the time will come when Mom and Dad won’t quit asking how we did, and we’ll be forced to look. So, to procrastinate (because that’s what students do best!) looking at final grades here are 17 things to do!

You’re Welcome!

1. Scroll through Ben and Jerry’s Flavors to see which one you’re going to drown your sorrows in

2. Watch Trainwreck and pretend you’re Amy Schumer

3. Bang your head against the wall repeatedly so you can blame your failures on a severe concussion

4. Get belligerently drunk off of Eggnog to forget you even took finals

5. Go to Starbucks and read the New York Times as if you’re someone who actually understands what’s going on

6. Listen to your senile Great Aunt Kate tell the same story over and over again

7. Answer questions from obtrusive relatives like, Do you have a boyfriend? How’s school going? What are you going to do with that degree?

8. Search for future penthouse suites over looking Central Park, because “you’re going to get you’re act together next semester”

9. Bake cookies… like dozens and dozens of cookies

10. Go to church and pray for your final grades, although at this point it’s probably out of God’s hands too.

11. Listen to the entire Hamilton Soundtrack for 4 hours straight

12. Go through your Facebook album $ummer 2010<3333 from middle school

13. Better yet, go through old Facebook messages. That’s sure to get you in a good mood… or make you cringe.

14. Get back together with your psycho ex-boyfrend because nothing says giant mistake like him!

15. Watch Biden and Obama friendship videos with the pint of Ben and Jerry’s flavor you picked

16. Take an online course in mandarin Chinese- maybe this course you can pass?

17. Go golfing and start knitting a sweater- you’re going into retirement before you even work

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
