No, it's just because of Christmas.

9 Reasons Why Winter Is My Favorite Season

Winter is the prettiest season in my opinion; no spring allergies, snow, and blankets and all things cozy.

1. Snow

I always had this fascination with snow. Since I was a kid, that would be the only time I would go outside and play. It wasn't like the summer where I'd splash around in a pool, but actually make something out of snow, whether it's leaving a trail of footprints, snow angels, or a snowman.

2. I dress better

Even though I tolerate heat way better, I stand by the cold because I can bundle up. This means layering with sweaters, a nice coat, scarves, and beanies with cute socks and boots. It beats the t-shirt, athletic shorts, and flip-flops I'd run out of the house within the summer.

3. Nutcracker season

I'm a huge ballet fan. The only Christmas music I really enjoy is from the Nutcracker ballet. I'm going to see New York City Ballet's performance with my mom and I couldn't be more excited.

4. Gifts

Receiving gifts are always great, but I really like giving small treats to my friends. I would make small holiday goodie-bags with chocolates and mini candy canes to my classmates before winter break.

5. Fuzzy things

I enjoy bundling up. I love fuzzy socks because they're very fun and cute. It's also time to break out all of the throw blankets all over the house.

6. Eating good 

Christmas means family dinners, which mean feasting. My personal favorite is are pecan pie and sugar cookies. I have a big sweet tooth.

7. Winter break

The holidays call for a break from school. Whether you're going to a tropical location to avoid the cold or staying at home, you get a break at the end of the year. (Or just stay home by yourself like Kevin here.)

8. Family and friend time

Going off of winter break, everyone from schools and work offices have a couple of days off. This is the time to catch up with friends and family you didn't get to see over the shorter Thanksgiving break. Make the most out the time you have with them.

9. Festive aesthetic

The snow is fun to play with but is transforms everything when it's left alone. Add some lights under the snow to get an elegant glimmer when it becomes dark outside.

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.

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.
