Thoughts During The Days Of Dead Week
vocativ

Dead week is finally here. We are not only dreading it because it is one step closer to finals, but also ecstatic because it is one step closer to winter break. It's the week where even though it's considered "dead," we still have class, presentations, final projects, and of course studying. Oh, and you can't forget the some of us that decide to give up on the semester and go out every day of the week. Either way, we all have to take finals which we can all agree, we hate. Here are thoughts we have during the progression of dead week.

Monday: We are so overwhelmed with the amount of things we have to do, we just don't do anything at all. "I'll just start tomorrow!"

Tuesday: We tell ourselves we are going to start studying, but then remember we have a presentation/project/assignment due tomorrow, so we do that instead. "Whatever, I'll start studying tomorrow."

Wednesday: You finally turn in your project, or do your presentation, and now it's time to study, but you're tired from doing the last minute touches so you take a nap and realize you can't study tired. "Okay, I'll actually start tomorrow."

Thursday: Okay you finally go to the library and begin to study for the test you think is going to be the hardest. You then get texts from your friends saying let's go out so what do you do? Go out. "I've been working hard I need to have some fun."

Friday: You then realize you wasted your whole week for studying and start to panic just a little bit. You tell yourself you're going to be okay even if you don't truly believe yourself. "Just breathe."

Saturday: Okay so you studied sort of a good amount yesterday, so no need to study on a Saturday right? "Today is a break day."

Sunday: "Okay, I'm screwed."

Good luck on finals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.
