Finishing Second Semester, Told Through GIFs

Spring break is over and your chance to tan and catch up on sleep is gone -- at least for a few more weeks. You might be feeling a little bit ready for the year to be over, or maybe even a lot. You have one or two more mid-terms left and you are starting to check your grades. As you calculate your mid-terms into your average you might be discovering you don't have as many As as you thought you did. Hopefully, the rest of the semester will be a blow off and you will be able to add a few points onto those averages.

After mid- terms are over you go to bed without doing your readings. I mean, he wouldn't give you a quiz right after the test, right? Wrong. Pop quiz on the first day back to class. It's okay because the rest of the semester you are going to work harder than ever.


You are walking to the library to start working on your GPA and suddenly you realize that sweatshirt you have been wearing the last few months is a little hot. Spring has finally sprung and good weather is here to stay. You can take off that sweater for good, or at least until November.

Better weather means spending more time outdoors, being active and getting in shape for summer clothes and swim season. So you pledge to yourself that you are going to start going working out every day to get in shape.

But after one workout you are feeling a little sore and decide to settle with sticking to the oversized t-shirt fad the rest of the year.

Before you even have time to unpack from spring break, it's time for finals again and the "simple" reviews that your professors have given you are going to take at least a week to get through.

You have been planning to spend all Friday night at the library, but your friends offer to go out is just so much more appealing and you don't want them to feel like you are ditching them, so you ditch the library.

When finals come, you are ready but a little regretful that you didn't spend more time studying, but college is all about the memories, not the GPA! Right?

Finally, the semester is over and it's time for summer. You might be a little sad to see the year go and to have to leave your school and out of state friends but, hey, there is always next semester.

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.
