What I've Done To "Prepare" For Finals

These aren't your typical methods, and I'm not sure how effective they are

What I've Done To "Prepare" For Finals
The Daily Californian

What have I done to prepare for final exam week, you might ask? Well...nothing. But it's not because I don't care about finals; trust me, my big college goal is to graduate with a 4.0 GPA. This school has a weird way of doing finals though (no offense, CSE). At my last college, your last class day was also the day of your final, which was simple enough to grasp. But here, the semester ends on the ninth and I've got professors telling me our last day is the first but our final is the seventh, and it's been confusing the hell out of me. Though, I'm learning that this might be the normal way to do finals and I'm the crazy one. Either way, it's been stressful, so here's what I've done to "prep" for finals and relieve some stress.

1. Become the very best like no one ever was

PokemonSun and Moon came out not long ago, and, naturally, I had to buy it. In case anyone's curious, I got Pokemon Moon and chose Popplio as my starter (best decision ever, by the way).

2. Assume my role as mayor

Don't worry, guys. I'm not actually an elected official (I think it'd be a little scary if I was). However, I am the proud mayor of my Animal Crossing New Leaf town. Unfortunately, I may or may not have ditched said town when I pre-ordered Pokemon...

3. Snapchat

As my one friend from my last college can tell you, I have a lot of pent up pettiness and sass that I like to release all that with the assistance of Snapchat's adorable deer filter. I find getting out any sass or pettiness or whatever in a fun manner is good for everyone.

4. Clean

I'm telling you, sometimes you just need to channel your inner Mrs. Doubtfire and dance with your vacuum. Or, at least have some fun while you clean. Personally, I enjoy tidying up my dorm with The Addams Family Musicalsoundtrack in the background.

5. Remember Christmas is almost here!

Ugh, I just love Christmas! I love how snow looks on the trees, I love seeing lights and ornaments covering the tree in my living room, and I love how Christmas means seeing all my friends and family. Seriously, could anything be better?

6. Make lists

I'm, like, the queen of making lists. There's a bunch taped to my wall and left on my desk telling me what to pack for winter break, what I'll need for next semester, which groceries I'll need to buy, what I need to bring back from winter break...well, you get the idea.

7. Catch up on sleep

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my sleep. I've literally woken up only to announce five minutes later that I'm ready for a nap. Sleep is precious to me, so you can bet I'll spend any free time I have after "prepping" for finals catching some Z's.

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.

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?

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
