10 Things You Can Expect to Happen at Thanksgiving Dinner
Territory

We all know there are certain things we can expect to happen EVERY year at Thanksgiving but just in case you come from a family that mixes things up, here's a list for you to understand what the rest of us go through at the Holidays!

#1: If you are single... Everyone will want to know why you are still single.

#2: If you are married... Everyone will want to know when they can expect to see a baby on the way.

#3: You will eat way, way too much food.

#4: Somewhere in the house, the guys will either be talking about hunting or will be watching football. Then again, they may be doing both.

#5: You’ll see your favorite cousin pull in the driveway and totally freak out, whether you’re 10, 29 or 45!

#6: There will be a form of green bean casserole somewhere and it will either be really good or really gross. There is no in between.

#7: Traffic everywhere will be terrible.

#8: Gas prices will be the highest they have been in months.

#9: Black Friday will be the hot topic of all the ladies conversations during and after Thanksgiving dinner (unless they are talking about the single folks and/or the not so pregnant ladies) so, be ready. The best prices of the year are happening when dinner is over.

#10: Someone in your family will post on social media and end their post with, "#thankful" so, be ready for your basic "like" of the day.

Enjoy a laugh and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

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.
