10 Things To Look Forward To After Thanksgiving
Family Holiday Helpers

Thanksgiving is a great holiday about friends, family and gratitude.

While it is certainly something to look forward to, for me the real fun begins right after. Here are ten things I'm looking forward to right after Thanksgiving is gone.

1. Black Friday

This one might be implied, nevertheless it's without a doubt something to look forward to. While it can get insane, there's nothing like dedicating a whole day to shopping, especially at reasonable prices.

2. Holiday decorating.

The end of Thanksgiving officially marks the beginning of the holiday season, and what's more exciting than that? This means we get to go insane with Christmas decorations to put us in the holiday spirit. Trees, mistletoes, wreaths, stockings; you name it, it's there.

3. Christmas music.

I know a lot of people started playing holiday music right after Halloween, but for me the right time is after Thanksgiving. Christmas music is fun and magical, and puts everyone in a great mood.

4. Christmas movies

I may be getting a little redundant here, but Christmas movies are the best. There's nothing better than sitting in front of the TV under a cozy blanket, watching a holiday classic while sipping hot chocolate. This brings me to my next point.

5. Hot chocolate

Again, there is a right time for everything. The holiday season is the perfect time for sipping hot chocolate. As the weather gets colder, and the days get shorter, at least we can count on hot chocolate to keep our hearts warm and happy.

6. Baking

Baking is obviously a year-round activity, at least for most people. However, there is something about baking during the holiday season that makes it special. It brings families and friends together in a loving a fun atmosphere.

7.Holiday shopping

While holiday shopping can be very stressful (especially when you're broke), it can also be a ton of fun. Walking through a crowded mall, filled with lights as Christmas tunes are playing in the background, as you're trying to find the perfect gift for someone you care about, is wonderful.

8. Snow

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I dislike snow. There is one exceptions, and one exception only, and that is the holiday season. Christmas without snow, just wouldn't be Christmas.

9. End of the semester

This is totally unrelated to the rest of the list, but still valid. For me it's kind of bittersweet, so though I'm kind of sad the semester is already coming to the end, I'm also excited to get some time off and recover.

10. CHRISTMAS!!

Bet you didn't see this one coming.

No matter what holiday is your favorite, enjoy the time with your friends and family, and whatever you are looking forward to I hope it's as great as you hope for it to be.

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.
