For many, the middle of the semester can get stressful and as Thanksgiving break rolls around we're jumping at the opportunity to recharge.

Thanksgiving break is our chance to return home to some good food, but while we look forward to escaping papers and exams there are certain situations you can't avoid when every single family member is thrown into one room.

The list below describes the few unavoidable moments we face on Thanksgiving.

1. Mom preparing the house for company.

If Mom isn't happy, no one is. If you can't clean it you might as well say "screw it" because all hope is gone.

2. Socializing with the one relative no one can stand.

There is always that ONE family member......

3. Food coma.

GET YOUR STRETCHY PANTS READY because there will be endless amounts of food coming your way!

4. Family shenanigans.

Whether it's your cousins or your crazy uncle, someone is always up to no good when it comes to holidays.

5. Dealing with annoying questions.


"How's school going?" "Oh, you know..."

"How's your social life?!" "Good.."

"What are you doing here?!!?" "I CAME TO EAT FOOD STOP QUESTIONING ME!"


No matter your situation, holiday breaks always fly by quicker than we realize and we don't have to deal with these things again until the next family reunion.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

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.
