Since I won't be going home this Thanksgiving, here are 10 things you should plan if you're not going home this Thanksgiving.

1. Go on a hike.

Hiking is the perfect fall activity because you get to see beautiful places and feel accomplished while also exercising!

2. Explore a nearby City. With everyone out of town, you can explore the city at your leisure

No traffic, no crowds and most importantly no lines for delicious food.

3. Do something Spontaneous… like Skydiving.

Because why not?!?Learn something new.

4. Take up a task for the long weekend and become a master of it.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could figure out how to do something new and could show everyone what you did during your free time while they were all stuffing their faces with Thanksgiving food?

5. Relax with some Yoga.

Find an awesome yoga and meditation class.

6. Make sure to binge at least one TV show or movie series.

If you didn’t watch thanksgiving episodes of The Office, Friends, Shameless and more, does it count?

7. Buy all the discounted candy and Thanksgiving food to cook.

Who cares if it’s a few days later? Let’s be real, discounted food is the best kind of food.

8. Get ’yo Pumpkin on.

Pumpkin spiced lattes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin-shaped gummies, pumpkin pie, there’s an infinite amount of pumpkin to go around.

9. Treat Yo’self on Black Friday.

What better way to spend the weekend than getting the cutest clothes and unnecessary gadgets at the best deals.

10. Focus on Yourself.

Taking the time to catch up on work that’s overdue or reading that book you’ve been meaning to read all semester is the best way to de-stress and reflect on life and prepare for finals week.

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.

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.
