You Made It Out Alive

Curing That Midterm Hangover

79
You Made It Out Alive

If you’re reading this that means that you made it out of

seeming endless black hole that is midterms. So take a breath and congratulate yourself because you are still alive. While this may seem like a small feat, keep in mind that you are now over halfway there. So, here is a comprehensive list of things (in order) to do to recover from midterm and get back in the swing of things.

1. Take a nap. You were up for hours upon hours studying, if you deserve anything right now, it’s to shut your eyes wherever you see fit and get some shut eye.     

2.Eat a salad. When in times of stress, the 20 something tends to revert back to their natural state of being: junk food. All-nighters are not kind to the body so do yourself a favor and munch on some veggies. Your body will thank you in the long run. 

3. Go to class. It may seem like you dodged the bullet, but just remember that finals are right around the corner. You can’t afford to start ditching class now. It may seem daunting at first, but just remember  that there is still fall and thanksgiving break standing between you and D Day.

4.Take another nap. I cannot stress the importance of napping. Especially considering our age and living in the college environment. 

5. Start studying for the final now. It will seem a lot less daunting then, if you start preparing for it now.     

Head my words and this semester will be over before you know 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.

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.
