3 Things That I Am Thankful For

People think that the holidays are all about gifts but that's not the only thing that they are there for. It is a time to spend with family near and far. This Thanksgiving I have a lot to be thankful for.

1. I am thankful for my family that has supported me my whole life.

They give me strength in times of great need. I am also thankful for my extended family, it would take up too much space for me to insert pictures there is a lot of you. I thank each and every one of my family members for supporting me, even if they are here in spirit.

2. I am thankful for my friends.

I know even when things are tough we will all be there for each other every step of the way. I have made a whole new set of friends in college, but my high school friends will always be there, and I am extremely grateful.

Jen- I am thankful for your spirit. You have amazing spunk to you!

Carolyn- I am thankful that you are always there when I need you. You are an inspiration that has overcome so much!

Jason- I am thankful for your guidance and determination it inspires me every day.

3. I am thankful for the amazing Education that I have received.

Without this, I would have no idea where I would be. I know this is really bad but my town has one of the best education systems in Connecticut. This is my high school I am proud to be a #chieftan.

The holidays are always perceived as a time to get gifts. There is a lot more to this season than many people might think. It is a time to see family and reflect on the year. I wish everyone a happy and healthy Holiday !!!

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.
