Spring Semester Sucks

Here's how you deal with it...or maybe not.

Finals week is coming up QUICK and honestly, it's not even the worst part about the end of the semester. At this point, summer is so close I can almost taste it. I have plans with friends, and it's going to be great, but a mere couple of stressful weeks stands between me and freedom.

My main problems with the end of the spring semester are pretty major. I hate how many social activities happen, I hate how much school work I have to do and I really hate the concept of graduation.

As I've moved through college I've realized that the end of the spring semester is much worse than the end of the fall semester. In fall, you know that school is not over and that everyone will be reuniting in a short few weeks. We are simply gone from our friends for a little bit before coming back and doing it all over again. We do not have to worry about saying goodbye to our friends for what could be forever (dramatic, I know).

In the spring semester, we have the added stress of graduation, aka when all of your older friends leave forever. I sadly have three close friends graduating this semester and I hate that we are going to have to say goodbye to them in a few weeks.

Another thing I hate about spring semester is how busy everything gets in the last four weeks. If you thought the end of spring semester would be a breeze, well, you thought wrong. Naturally, you would think, "everyone is getting ready for finals so school is going to be dead." Well, you would be wrong.

It seems like everyone sees this as the perfect time to start doing everything that we didn't do throughout the semester. Newsflash everyone. Ya girl is failing a class so I don't have time to be all social. Am I going to try and participate in everything? Yep. Is it the worst? Also yep.

The final pet peeve of mine is schoolwork itself. It seems like at the beginning of the semester teachers have a meeting and decide to make every due date on the seemingly same day. I went from having virtually no work due to having three tests in a matter of two days. WHY.

Please have more things due at the beginning of the semester. It's not fair to us students to put every major due date within a span of two weeks. We had another 10 weeks that we could've turned this paper in but nope. Its due this week of all weeks.

Genuinely, I don't actually hate the spring semester. It's a great time, but it's also the most stressful and sad. This year, as a junior, I think I mentally prepared myself for this time around but as I sit here and type this I'm 99.9% certain that im coming down ith a cold. So lets be real. The spring semester always wins.

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.
