As a college student I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving more this year than ever before. Being away from home has definitely helped me to appreciate many things more and it doesn't hurt that a five day weekend means five days of no school work. Here's the top ten things I'm looking forward to over Thanksgiving break!

1. Seeing my friends from high school

While I've been home a few times this semester already this will be my first time home when all my friends from high school are home at the same time as me.

2. Seeing my pets

As always, my favorite part of coming home is seeing my cat and my dog. There's nothing like being greeted by excited fur balls when you walk in the door.

3. Seeing my family

I'm looking forward to binge watching tv with my sister, getting outsmarted in arguments by my brother, online shopping with my mom and running errands with my dad.

4. Food

Thanksgiving is known for its food but even more than that I'm looking forward to eating at some of my favorite restaurants that I don't have access too here.

5. Break from work

While fall break was longer there were definitely more assignments for me to complete during it. Even though I'll have a little bit of homework over break, after having spent the last two weeks with a heavy workload it will be a much needed break.

6. Showering without shoes

There's nothing quite like taking a shower without flip flops.

7. Sleeping in my own room

Being able to watch tv headphoneless in the middle of the night is one of the things I miss most from home and I'm looking forward to spending five days doing just that.

8. Catching up on tv shows

With the work piling on as we near the end of the semester I haven't had nearly enough time to binge watch shows on Netflix or catch up on my favorite on air shows.

9. Reading a new book

Seeing as I barely manage to do all of my reading for class I definitely haven't had the time for read for pleasure recently.

10. Christmas!!!

Personally, I am more than okay with Christmas music and decorations starting right after Halloween. Thanksgiving is pretty much the official start of the Christmas season. Aka the most wonderful time of the year.

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.
