After a full month of preparing and getting excited for Halloween, it's more than a little disappointing that it's now over. The pumpkins, spiderwebs, and costumes are being put back into their places and, if you're a Halloween lover like I am, it's sad to see them go.

But don't worry, there's still plenty to be excited for in the coming months!

1. Colder Weather!

OK, sure, Jon Snow doesn't look super happy about winter but I sure am. Snow, warm drinks, toasty fires, and blankets for days. I'm so ready for it.

2. Thanksgiving!

The meal that some people look forward to all year. Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie -- the list goes on. Good food, good people, good times!

3. December Holidays!

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or anything else, there's a lot of fun events, family time, and traditions to look forward to with these holidays!

4. Christmas Carols!

We can finally listen to Christmas music without being shamed for playing it too early!

5. Holiday Movies!

There's nothing better than sitting down to watch "Elf" or "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" on a cold winter night! Add some popcorn and hot chocolate and you're good to go.

6. Winter Break!

Even if you don't celebrate any holidays, at least you have a break from school to look forward to. I know winter break can't come soon enough for me.

7. Winter Activities!

Snowball fights, ice skating, skiing and snowboarding, caroling, and so much more — there are some things that can only be done (or are more fun to do) in November and December.

8. The New Year!

Parties, friends, and a reflection on the past year! New year means a fresh start, and I'm looking forward to seeing what 2018 brings.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
