For all you December birthday's out there, we can all agree that there are pros and cons of having such a cold birthday. Here is a list of things that suck about having a December birthday.

1. Everyone has their minds set on Christmas.

2. People think it's okay to combine your Christmas AND birthday gift??

You have to be kidding.

3. You can always count on at least ONE person to combine your Christmas and birthday gift.

4. Especially in college, everyone is studying for finals and don't have time to celebrate with you.

5. Or everyone has prior commitments to go to holiday parties instead of your birthday party.

6. Everyone has already spent all their money on Christmas presents and they can't afford to buy you a birthday gift.

7. It's always horrible weather on your birthday.

Or, if you live in Michigan, you can never know what the weather is going to be like because it's so unexpected.

8. People always forget your birthday because they're always thinking about Christmas.

9. You can't get a "Happy Birthday!" without getting asked about Christmas plans.

10. It's always hard to get all your friends to come out to the bars with you because they're all studying for finals or celebrating Christmas.

11. (Either pro OR con) Your birthday is surrounded by Christmas decorations.

No I don't want Mistletoe over my head when I'm blowing out my birthday candles.

12. [This happened to me once] Getting associated with Jesus because you "share the same birthday month."

Okay sorry man, but my birthday is MY day and you have YOUR own. Let's just keep the celebrations separate. I don't combine birthday parties anymore.

13. Why celebrate Christmas when everyone should just celebrate your birth anyway??

My life is the real present.

Now don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and I love having a December birthday but some of you have to agree that this happens to you sometimes.

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.

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.
