The 10 Best Things To Look Forward To For Thanksgiving Break

There's hardly anything to NOT look forward to when it comes to Thanksgiving break. Between food, family, and friends, what else could you want??

1. Sleeping at home

Although living on a campus, (whether it be a dorm, apartment, or sorority/fraternity house), can be very fun, coming home to your own space and own bed is something that is hard to top. Living on campus rarely ever leaves you with a dull moment, finally having some quiet space to your own can be amazing.

2. Food. Specifically, a home cooked meal

After months of cooking for yourself/dining hall food/restaurants, nothing is better than a home cooked meal.

3. Seeing your friends

By now it's most likely been a few months since you've seen your friends from home, and nothing is better than catching up with some good buddies and exchanging all your stories/adventures with each other.

4. Seeing your dog (or any other pet)

If you're anything like me, you probably miss your furry friend more than anything else. Separation anxiety is real.

5. Seeing your family

Depending on where you go to school it may have been months since you've last seen your family. Although you're probably about to get asked the same 3 questions by everyone in your family, it's always fun to reconnect with loved ones.

6. No classes

A (well deserved) break. Finally.

7. Free laundry

Although depending on where you live you may already have this luxury, but for those of us who don't, we are counting down the days.

8. Traveling

For some people, you may be going somewhere other than home for Thanksgiving break, and if that's the case, then you have a ton of adventures and travel to look forward to.

9. A break

While this is kind of a given, it is extremely rejuvenating and refreshing to get a break from the fast-pace that usually accompanies being a college student. Now's your chance to lay in bed and do nothing.

Turkey, family, friends, what could be better?

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.

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.
