I'm going to say something that is an opinion! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! So, why is it not given the time of day after Halloween? We skip right to Christmas!!!

It goes Halloween...Thanksgiving...and THEN Christmas! A, B, and then C!

Thanksgiving is not always celebrated by everyone with such care and that is okay. But, I want to get it out there, and explain why Thanksgiving is the best time of year!

No one's family is perfect, but I love my family and being together with them. As someone who doesn't have the biggest family, it is especially amazing to have everyone together in one room because life just gets in the way. It is important to be grateful for them every single day, but the holiday allows everyone to take a break from work (if possible), and bring everyone together. We can actually appreciate it and have a day dedicated to those that you care for most.

Now like I said, no one's family is perfect. But, I'm sure you or anyone else that you know, have friends or people that they deeply care for. Celebrate with those people. Let them know that they matter to you. Honestly, this holiday creates a place that I look around and I feel like there is no better place to be in that moment.

Of course, a nice getaway vacation or other luxuries seem "nicer," but in reality, there is nothing that replaces the value of family.

Plus, there is a bunch of delicious food that we, unfortunately, engorge on, but I am thankful for each bite. It is important to realize, that eating in itself is a luxury and if you are those people that can pay it forward and help others who do not have that available to them, then more power to you!



Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone! May it be filled with smiles, food, laughter, some type of movie, and love.

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.
