15 Signs You're SO Ready For Thanksgiving Break

Happy second week of November! I cannot believe we're already 10 weeks into the school year. Before you know it, Thanksgiving Break, final exams, the end of the semester, and Winter Break will be here. There are times in which we wish break was here already because it's the only time we can catch up on entertainment and naps.

So, here are 14 signs you're ready for Thanksgiving Break:

1. You know it's been not one, but more than a month or longer since your last break

Although you have created a family of your own in college, you still miss your family, friends, and other loved ones from home.

2. You miss your family

You miss the shenanigans, occasional storytime, and family entertainments. Well, that's what Thanksgiving break is for (every break I mean).

3. You miss your friends at home

You miss being able to see your friends from home most of the time. Facetime, Skype, and texting aren't the same as seeing them in person.

4. You miss your pet (if you have one)

Here's a picture of my dog for your entertainment. Pet lovers, you miss being tackled by your pet, petting him or her, and you also miss being responsible because you love your pet so much you want to be around them more.

5. Every time you call your grandparents, you whine when your grandma tells you what she's cooking for dinner

You are getting sick of cafeteria food since it's not the same as your mom or your grandma's. You can't hang up without asking what they're cooking for dinner and you end up crying on the inside because home-cooked meals are way better than bland dining hall food.

6. Sharing a bathroom is getting on your nerves

Suite style bathrooms are better than communal bathrooms, however, you still have to share with a few more people and wait your turn. It gets tiring after a while because you hate waiting half an hour for your suitemate or roommate to get out of the shower and you just want to get your toothbrush.

7. Especially showering in a small shower

Shaving legs is harder than writing a 7-page paper in such a small shower.

8. You're counting down to break

You just want to get your work done, so you don't have to waste your break doing it and limiting time with your loved ones.

9. You find yourself scrolling through Pinterest for Thanksgiving recipes

What's better than brown sugar sweet potatoes with pecans and craisins, stuffing, and turkey?

10. You find yourself saving Black Friday deals

A number of advertisements and emails of Black Friday don't help when you're trying so hard to resist online shopping or even jump on the bus to go to the mall.

11. You're excited to sleep in your own bed

A bed in your dorm is not the same as your bed in your own room.

12. You're wondering if a cure for procrastination exists

There's a huge struggle between desperately wanting to get your work done and wanting to avoid working altogether.

13. You also see break as an opportunity to catch up on Netflix

A break is meant for not doing extra work. Five days of Thanksgiving means seeing your family and friends, eating lots of home-cooked meals, and watching Netflix with zero regrets.

14. You're ready to watch the Macy's Parade

How can you not be excited about not having to deal with getting trampled by people when you can simply relax on your couch, watch the parade on TV, and know what's really going.

15. You find yourself packing "Thanksgiving pants" instead of jeans

Diet is not even in the Thanksgiving terminology.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
