5 Reasons to be Single During the Holdiays
http://ijlmn.com/

With the holidays right around the corner, it can be rough out there for us single folks. Although the love in the air feels suffocating, there are many perks to being single during this time. They don't call it the Most Wonderful Time of the Year for nothing.

1) One less person to buy presents for.


Let's face it, as much as we love buying presents, money doesn't grow on trees. Finding the perfect gift for your special someone is stressful, time consuming and expensive. So instead of crying over being alone this holiday season, go buy yourself those fabulous shoes you've been eyeing.

2) More cookies for you!

My favorite thing about Christmas is baking and when I don't have a boyfriend, I don't have to share. 15 cookies eaten, 0 people judging me for it.

3) You can focus on your friends.

Now that you and all of your friends are single, you can celebrate together. Cuddle up with a friend and watch your favorite holiday flick while sipping on hot coco and eating sugar cookies. Nothing beats that.

4) You don't have to meet someones family.

Being in a relationship during any holiday means having to give up time with your own family so you can meet your boyfriend/girlfriends drunk Aunt Carol who pinches your cheeks and insists that you are "the most darling thing they have ever seen". Enough said.

5) You finally get to relax.


A huge perk of the holidays are that you get a break from work or school. Now that you are single, you can really focus on catching up on the sleep you lost during finals week. Go get your nails done, get a massage and relax. You deserve it.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
