The underlying and forgettable comforts of home.

5 Things We Probably Don't Realize We Miss About Home
Real Living

When we go away to college for a semester, we often realize that there was a lot about home that was awesome. We all miss things like home-cooked food, seeing family often, and seeing the people you grew up with. Among all of the big things that we miss, however, we forget the small comforts of home that we don't realize that we missed until you see them.

1. Shower pressure!

So college dorms, and even apartments, don't always have the same shower pressure that you do at home. The warm water beating down on your sore muscles (finals stress, am I right?) feels so good!

2. A well stocked fridge and pantry.

In college, we usually stalk up on some chips or granola bars, but it's different at home. You can always find a plethora of amazing choices! Chances are, it was restocked for you, so you can have all your favorites!

3. No schoolwork!

Seeing as we are in college, we always have schoolwork. BUT WHEN YOU GET TO GO HOME AFTER A SEMESTER OF HARD WORK, you can just curl up on the couch with a blanket and watch Netflix.

4. Space

This is something you probably don't think about, but chances are you are crammed into that dorm-room. When you get home, you have so much more space to spread out. You get to lounge in another room if you get bored of being in the same place for a long time.

5. Your bed.

Yeah, your mattress topper may make that hard dorm-room bed more bearable, but nothing beats sleeping in your own, comfortable bed at home.

I hope you're having an awesome break! Enjoy the comforts of home while they last! And happy 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.
