21 Things That Happen When You Go Back Home For Winter Break

Let's be honest, you're probably going to sleep and watch Netflix for the entirety of winter break.

21 Things That Happen When You Go Back Home For Winter Break

1. You’ll get to go home and sleep in your own bed, and it’s the best sleep you’ve had in months.

2. You’ll finally get to hug your mom after four months.

3. And then you get to immediately hug your dog afterwards.

4. You’ll be reunited with your best friend, and it’ll be like you never left each other’s side.

5. And you’ll probably go back to high school to watch a Christmas concert and support your friends that are still stuck in that hell hole.

6. But you’ll get to see your favorite teacher and that will make the whole experience OK.

7. And someone that you went to high school with will probably hit on you at the concert.

8. At some point, you’ll definitely run into your old crush, and you'll strut past them like the goddamn goddess you are.

9. However, you’ll also run into your old nemesis in the grocery store, causing you to turn down every aisle in order to avoid them.

10. You’ll get together with your old friends and they will immediately say, “Oh my God, I missed you so much!”

11. And one of them will inevitably go on and on about how many people that they’ve slept with.

12. While another one will go on and on about the one time they got drunk off of a beer and a half at their first college party.

13. And you’ll realize that you didn’t actually miss some of them at all.

14. And you’ll sit in your old hangout spot, listening to your friends, and realize that you miss your friends from college (and hope that they miss you, too).

15. You’ll spend Christmas with your relatives, and every single one of them will ask how college is and what you’re majoring in and if you're still single.

16. You’ll wake up on Christmas Day and pray that you have a ton of money (and also a ton of socks) in your stocking.

17. Eventually, the day will come where you have to go back to college, and you’ll feel bittersweet about it.

18. On one hand, you’re going to miss your friends and family.

19. But, on the other hand, you’re super excited to see your roommate(s) again and have a ton of dance parties.

20. And then, of course, you realize that the next semester is starting up as soon as you get back to your dorm, and you die a little bit inside.

21. But at least you have your roommate(s) to help you get through school until spring break.

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.

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.
