7 Deadly Sins: Christmas Edition

Everyone is guilty.

With the holidays right around the corner, everyone knows that Halloween to New Years is just about the best time of the year. The weather is cold, the hot cocoa is hot, and the sweaters are XXL. This is the time of giving. Too often we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of things and we forget what the holidays are really about. With this, I give you the 7 Deadly Sins: Christmas Edition.

1. Lust

Welcome to cuffing season my friends. It's a time of settling down with a "loved?" one or someone that can get you through the cold winter moments. Will you last until Valentine's Day? Probably not. But why not cuddle under a blanket for some Netflix and Chill until then.

2. Gluttony

We will feast, and we will feast again. Jeans will turn into yoga pants by Christmas Eve, and all the festivities include the most caloric food and drinks. A cup of eggnog for you turns into a downed bottle. Garlic bread turns into a whole loaf of bread. Calories don't count during the holidays though right?

3. Greed

Christmas lists turn into Christmas books. The lists are so long we could write a novel. The brokest season, while we are all patiently awaiting for more under the tree.

4. Sloth

It's not called break because you are supposed to be doing work. Grabbing a blanket or four and a cup of something warm on the couch is the only way to get through the month. Your mother may have asked you to do the laundry but you do enough at school, amiright?

5. Wrath

Family pressures are high, and your drunk uncle doesn't know when to shut up. Your family is probably offended by your crop top, or your political sweater. The arguments around the dinner table are ones to never forget.

6. Envy

Your bag probably wasn't as expensive as Kim Kardashian's Christmas gift from her family, but does it really matter? There will always be something better on sale December 26.

7. Pride

Similar to the rest of these, let Christmas be a time of happiness, not worrying whether you got the better present than your siblings, or who loves who more.

At the end of the day, be thankful we are not alive for Dante's Inferno, because I'd be seeing all the rest of you in Hell as well! Happy Holiday's everybody!

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.
