To me, December is more than just Christmas and New Years Eve. My birthday falls right in between these two very festive, very celebrated holidays. When I tell people my birthday, they automatically ask the same questions. I figured I might as well clear thing up once and for all about holiday birthday protocol for all those who aren't lucky enough to have a birthday during the most wonderful time of year. I have included the few popular questions and answered them to my best ability. After all, I've had 19 holiday birthdays.

1. "How do you feel about having your birthday during the holidays?"

This is a really confusing question because my birthday feels like everyone else's. That's like asking a February birthday what it's like to have a birthday around Valentine's Day. It's a birthday, it's always exciting! Holiday birthdays are just a little more festive.

2. "Do you get presents for Christmas AND your birthday?"

Well...do you? It may seem like a lot since Christmas was so recent, but all the holiday sales are still happening so it's quite convenient. In most cases, people with holiday birthdays appreciate as much as a card or a phone call since our birthdays are so easy to overlook. We can't blame you though, so much is going on!

3. "Do people forget your birthday a lot?"

It's no secret that December and January birthdays are during one of the busiest times of the year. Everyone is travelling, families are hosting tons of parties, and friends are working to earn some extra cash for second semester. It can be easy to lose track of the days (or simply forget) with so much going on. Good thing Facebook is there to remind you -- so no more excuses.

4. "How do you celebrate your birthday?"

I celebrate my birthday just as anyone else would -- by treating myself and having some cake! It's true that sometimes parties are hard to throw. Growing up, a lot of my friends would be out of town on vacation or visiting family when I wanted to have a party, since it is such a busy time of year. As a young girl it made me a little upset and frustrated, but as I have gotten older I don't mind it at all! I find a friend or two to do something fun with and spend the rest of my day with my family.

Hopefully, this short Q & A has cleared up a few questions many have about holiday birthdays. If you know someone with a holiday birthday, make sure to mark it down on your calendar twice so you don't forget to wish them a "Happy Birthday!" before heading off to a holiday party.

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.
