Winter Break, As Told By "Chrisley Knows Best"
@chrisleyknowsbest

Winter break is arguably the best break of the year: you get to see your parents after a long semester, it's cozy and Christmasy inside, and there are so many candy canes, chocolates, and desserts around that your heart (and your pants) grow 3x the size in the name of love. But as much as we love the glorious being that is winter break, there's always a few downfalls when you come back to your hometown.

1. Every local store or restaurant is crowded with locals who frankly, are scary and sketchy as hell

2. Seeing people you graduated with and avoiding eye contact at all costs

3. Arguing with your parents about a curfew even though you've been living on your own all semester

Mom, I'm a grown-ass woman, I've managed to keep myself alive up to now, can I please leave the house past 10 PM? *rolls eyes*

4. When dealing with family members during the holidays makes you wanna pack your bags and turn right back to school

5. The beauty of showering without shoes

In a full-size shower!

6. Getting to sleep in and be lazy for as long as you'd like

7. Realizing that you are in prime winterbod stage

Sorry, can't hear you over this ham, turkey, potatoes, chocolate, cookies...

8. Trying to reset your sleep schedule to something mildly normal


Why am I up at 4 AM? The world may never know.

9. Becoming a house-dwelling hermit and having your only contact with the outside world be through your Finsta and Twitter

Is this considered treating myself?

10. Bugging your mom in the other room excessively just because you can

11. Having full size appliances in your kitchen makes your heart fill with joy

What? You mean I can fit a full size pizza in my freezer? I have counterspace? I have countless shelves in the fridge? Foodie heaven.

12. Coming home and being around the ones you love, no matter how much they bug the hell out of you.

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:

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.

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.
