6 Perks of Being a December Baby

Being born on the 12th and final month of the year has its perks! For as long as I can remember, I have always loved having a December birthday because I get to experience the job of celebrating Christmas and my birthday all in the same month (or in my case, the same day). Here are 6 perks of having a birthday during the so-called "most wonderful time of the year."

1. Double the presents!

Oh, the joy of getting birthday AND Christmas presents!

2. Sparkly/glittery things

Sparkles. Sparkles everywhere.

3. 25 Days of Christmas

Every year, ABC Family (now called Free Form) hosts a programming block called "25 Days of Christmas" from December 1 to December 25. I like to think of this as nonstop Christmas joy all December long up until Christmas comes.

4. Lots of dessert choices

My Christmas/birthday celebrations usually consist of cakes, pies, cupcakes, ice cream, cookies, banana pudding, etc. With so many dessert choices, it can get really hard to choose which one I really want, so I usually choose at least two. Of course I have to exercise off all those calories a few days later, but it's all worth it in the end!

5. Clearance sales

As a shopaholic, I love to make the most of the birthday money I receive to find sales at some of my favorite retail stores.

6. Christmas music!


Never gets old. Every year, I love tuning in to 101.9 LITE FM and 97.1 WASH FM to catch some Christmas carols.

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.

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.
