It isn't random that Christmas is known as "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." It's because it really is! Christmas is everyone's favorite holiday and especially for these reasons!

1. Presents

Even if you deserve coal, which you might.. you still always wind up getting those presents!


2. Holiday cookies

We used to give the cookies to Santa, but now we just hoard them for ourselves, which happens to be even better.


3. Time with family

Christmas is always a good excuse to appreciate one another and get together with the family you haven't seen in a while!

4. Winter break/School delays or cancelation.

Never a bad day when you get off for winter break, and especially when you have a snow day or cancelation. Paartayyy!


5. ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas movies

Nothing beats it!


6. Warming decorations

Christmas decorations always brighten up your mood or day!


7. Sales at stores


Thanks, Black Friday, for setting off the Christmas sales! Watch out people, we women are on the prowl for sales at the stores.


8. Ugly sweaters are acceptable

What a good excuse to wear the ugliest thing but still look trendy!


9. Holiday music


At every store or mall, you'll hear all the Christmas music!

10. Secret Santa

Nothing is better than giving a gift, and receiving something just as good at the same time. You just can't help but dance like this!


11. You have an excuse to dress cozy and stay inside and Netflix all day.

What else is better than being cozy in bed and watching Netflix when it's below 20 degrees outside!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
