Christmas Oh Christmas, Where Art Thou

This last stretch through finals is leaving me searching for Christmas more than ever.

Christmas Oh Christmas, Where Art Thou
Vanessa Aguilar

With the oncoming doom of finals week and the ever growing chill in the air, it is hard to miss the fact that Christmas is almost here. At every department store, and at every turn of our heads, we spy the certain traits of the year that make people sing with Christmas cheer. Almost everyone.

I say almost everyone because there are those few who are dragging themselves into inevitable debt through attending what is known as college, and with that accumulating debt comes the one week of the year filled with the agonizingly long abyss known as finals. It is during this one week of the year that students feel a terrifying sense of procrastination to the point that the thought of dropping out crosses one's mind at least once or twice. But we have already dragged ourselves into debt which we must pay off one way or another, so we must continue on.

Christmas is so close, that we can just smell it in the air everytime that we breathe in that frozen air, and we just can not help but think of better times not so far in the future when we will be able to live stress-free and without a single school assignment for almost an entire month until spring semester rolls around once again.

The only thing getting me (us?) through the semester is the thought of being back home enjoying a nice warm cup of hot chocolate, cuddled up in a mountain of blankets while binge watching Netflix, not having a single regret because there will not be a single thing on my to-do list. So Christmas, wherefore art thou, for I do not know how much longer I can take these sleepless nights (although long enough to make it through the semester and get one step closer to graduating). Here's to one more week of stress, and to many more of relaxation! Happy Holidays and good luck to everyone on their finals!

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.

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.
