10 Basic Things Every College Kid Should Be Thankful For This Holiday Season
Aaron Burden

1. Sweater Weather

Cozy cardigans are an essential for cool weather fashion. Between an over sized sweater, a blanket scarf, or combat boots any outfit could become cozy, yet super stylish. No doubt about it, cool weather fashion is the best fashion.

2. Cuddles

Whether it be with a signifigant other, a best friends, or a furry friend, or all by yourself, cuddling up in bed with lots of blankets is the ultimate way to relax after a long stressful day at school/work. A warm bed is a happy one.

3. Time with your loved ones

All throughout the holidays are times spent with your loved ones. Nothing beats a day spent with the ones you care about most. There is something about spending time with people you love that makes your days a little brighter and your hearts a little warmer.

4. Drinks

From hot chocolate, to apple cider, to Starbucks Holiday Drinks (Coming out on November 9!!) there is nothing a warm drink can't cure. Something about warming your insides that just melt you in this cold cold world.

5. Fuzzy socks

Nothing can beat a good pair of fuzzy socks. Not only are they super cozy, but also cute as can be! How can something keep your feet so warm, along with making your feet look adorable at the same time! Fuzzy socks are great to lounge around in, or wear with boots for extra warmth in your day.

6. FOOD

All throughout this holiday season, the best food is offered. All the turkey, potatoes, ham, stuffing, and PIE. There is so much available to get my winter body up and ready. Something about holiday food, just seems to have some sort of comfort. Did I mention it's also DELICIOUS?

7. Movies, Movies, Movies

Scary movies, to Christmas movies (personal fav) the holiday movies always seem to get us in the spirit for the holidays by getting us ready to get our holiday on. There is no doubt about it holiday movies are the best kind of movies ever made.

8. Hella good Insta pics

Whether it be cute pictures with pumpkins, in your costumes, to jumping in a pile of leaves with your cousin, and a cute picture under the mistletoe. The holiday season gives us so many opportunities to take the perfect Instagram pictures, in ever occasion. There's no way a little seasonal pic won't score you a couple extra likes.

9. Pretty scenery

From the pretty leaves, to the snow fall, to the lights, there is no way that anything could ever look more beautiful. Practically anywhere you go there is a beautiful sight waiting to be seen, full of holiday cheer. It's so festive and fun.

10. Faith

Something about the holiday season always has me having a little more faith. Faith in everything to be exact. Maybe even some more faith in magic.

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.
