The 12 Days Of Coming Back From Thanksgiving, As Told By Pawnee's Finest

On the first day back at school after Thanksgiving break, my true love gave to me...

One moment of terror

When you realize just how much you have to do before the semester ends.

Two days since you have seen your dog

Which is two too many, and far too many to go.

Three fast food meals

So far, since you ran out of the food your mom sent you with.

Four homework assignments you meant to do over break

Five professors telling you that their final "isn't that bad"

Six times you napped instead of going to the gym

Seven mental breakdowns

Eight times you wanted to run away to a foreign country

Nine episodes deep in a binge watch

Because you've basically given up now.

Ten times you snoozed your alarm

Since you destroyed your sleep schedule during your time off.

Eleven dollars negative in your bank account

Because rent is due, and suddenly your friends and family want Christmas gifts?

Twelve (thousand) times you needed reminded you can do it

College is ridiculous, but somehow, someway, we will find a way to survive these last three weeks. We may not be sure where we are going to find the time or the energy, but we can do it!

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.

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.
