Ice skating, watching a beautiful ballet, walking through the botanical gardens at night, it really is a winter wonderland here in Atlanta. Make sure to take advantage of it before school starts up again!

1. Ice Skating at Centennial Olympic Park

Maybe you’ve been to Avalon’s ice skating rink one too many times, or you’ve never been and you’ve just heard how crowded it is. Here’s the solution: Centennial Olympic Park is bigger and better with less people (usually) and always a blast for the whole family.

2. Ponce City Market

If you’ve never been to Ponce, the way I would describe it is a nice mall with gourmet food and industrial decorations. It’s more of an experience than a place to shop- there’s a rooftop that anyone can go up on before 5:00pm, and after that you must be 21 or over. The rooftop overlooks Atlanta’s skyline and they have refreshments to offer as well. Outside Ponce, there’s the belt line, one of the prettiest and longest trails in Atlanta.

3. Go see Nutcracker at the Fox Theatre

Ah, the perfect holiday ballet for everyone to enjoy. The Atlanta Ballet puts on a unique version of the Nutcracker that is both comedic and beautiful.

4. Seeing the Lights at Atlanta Botanical Gardens

Perfect Instagram photos. That’s really all you need to know.

5. Go have brunch/dinner in the Georgian Terrace Hotel

This beautiful and vintage hotel right across from the Fox Theatre is perfect for a fancy night out with family or a significant other. They also offer good options for a New Years Eve meal for all ages and the hotel is wonderfully decorated for the holidays.

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.
