Winter break is amazing not because it's only Christmas time, but because it's the time college students can finally breathe. This is the time where all college students finally have the chance to sleep on time, to not stress about classes, and to enjoy every minute (not second guessing if they have something due). It's finally time to stop stressing and enjoy the little time we have before second-semester strikes. These are the five things every college student should do winter break.

1. SLEEP

Finals week just ended and that means you probably slept for five hours for the whole week. It's time to get the rest you finally deserve.

2. Watch Netflix ALL DAY

You have probably been dying to finish a season of Friends and now you finally have the chance to binge-watch without the guilt.

3. Hang out with your old friends

This is one of the only times you and your friends from back home will all be together during break. Plan out a day where you could catch up and hang out!

4. Throw all of your last semester work in the trash

Say goodbye to that calculus quiz you regrettably failed or the biology notes that made you cry every time you looked at them. It's finally time to say goodbye to those horrible classes and finally move on.

5. Check your grades... after Christmas

It is necessary that you face reality and check your grades. But you can wait after Christmas so you don't ruin your holiday mood.

Winter break is full of freedom for college students, so make sure you embrace this time and rest so you are ready to do college all over again next semester!

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.
