'Zoey 101' Perfectly Describes Midterm Season

During midterm season, things can get a tad hectic, to say the least. It’s filled with all-nighters, mental breakdowns, and Chinese food at 3 A.M.. In relation to what we’re all going through while taking these tests, “Zoey 101” unknowingly described the experience of midterm stress pretty well.


Realizing just how much you’re going to need to study during the in-class “review”


Watching all your friends go out while you have to stay in and study


Having a mental breakdown when you’ve got three midterms to study for, two major projects to finish, and club meetings to keep up with


Hanging out with friends becomes more stressful when you stop to think about all the work you have to get done.


When the teacher hands out the study guide (which happens to be the third one you’ve gotten this week)


Getting way too invested in social media posts, because that’s the closest you’ve gotten to actual to social interaction


Starting study groups and trying to teach each other key concepts from class


When your study breaks get weird because you “can’t even”


You realize you haven’t exercised in over two weeks because school has taken over your life


Your 7 A.M. alarm for an 8 A.M. midterm makes you question your sanity when you registered for any classes before noon


When your friends catch you watching Netflix after you said you were “really going to study this time”


Trying to stay positive when you know you didn’t do well on a test, but you haven’t seen the results yet


Going grocery shopping while you’re hungry and stressed beyond belief


Having deep conversations at 2 A.M. with your roommate during study breaks


Trying to express how done you are, but the sun is starting to rise and words are hard


Double-checking that the test was actually postponed, and that you aren’t hallucinating the email the professor sent out, just to be safe


Taking the day off and going to the beach with friends, because you totally made it

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
