26 Things To Really Be Thankful For

In honor of the Nov. 26 holiday, this list is a compilation of the things in life that really matter.

1. Someone invented cheese

Think about all your favorite foods. Majority are probably made with cheese.

2. Middle school dances

It's a rite of passage.

3. College football rivalries

What else would we have to live for?

4. Water isn't fattening

Think about it. Honestly.

5. Taylor Swift's high school boy problems

Thank you, mentally deranged teenage boys who broke T-Swift's heart, for five of the greatest albums of all time.

6. Coffee shops

As basic as they may be, what would we do without them?

7. The guy who has an extra Scantron on test day

OH SWEET, SWEET MERCY ON MY TURMOILED SOUL. OH, PRAISE YOU. OH.

8. Puppies

Do I even need to explain? No. No I don't.

9. Waffle House is open 24/7

Again, doesn't even need an explanation.

10. Baseball pants

There are entire Tumblrs dedicated to them. Just Google it.

11. Extra credit points

The only way I'm passing three out of four classes.

12. Cows

Ice cream, cheese, steak, whipped cream, cute baby cows, milk – basically everything.

13. YouTube

Such entertainment.

14. Dr. Stewart Adams

The inventor of Advil.

15. When your roommate's mom sends homemade food

OHHH YASSSS, WE'RE EATIN' GOOD TONIGHT.

16. The pilgrims

The founders of America and Thanksgiving.

17. Starbucks popcorn

Haven't tried it? Run. Run now.

18. Haircuts

What if it just grew and grew and grew and grew?

19. The screenshot feature

Perfect for saving embarrassing Snapchats, texts from your ex, pictures of cats, health food "challenges" you'll never look at again – the list goes on and on.

20. Chinese food delivery

The ultimate late night lazy food. All you have to do is call.

21. Grandma's cooking

No matter who you are, no matter where you're from, your grandma's cooking is the best.

22. Cuddly things

Sweaters and puppies and blankets and scarves and pillows, oh my.

23. Simon Cowell put One Direction together

And all the fangirls say "AMEN."

24. Post-Halloween candy sales

Load up now for finals week.

25. The original Disney Channel

To you, we owe our childhood.

26. The one kid who actually does the reading homework and explains it to you two minutes before the quiz

Thank you for your sacrifice.

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.
