Let the hunger games of shame begin...

College Student Thanksgiving Struggles As Told By 'Bridesmaids'

It's that time of the year again folks... when the nightmarish bombardment of college questions head your way.

Rolling up to Thanksgiving with your baby cuz.


Strutting in post pregame.



And when your Mom pulls you aside to ask if you're drunk...

"C'mon Mom, if College has taught me anything, it's to be most functioning drunk guy"


The criticisms keep coming when you go for three plates of food.

"I've been perpetually starving for three whole months. Let me have this!"


Dinner begins and Aunt Peggy brings up politics.

Don't do this. Not today, Aunt Peggy.


So Grandma changes the subject and suddenly the college questions are flying your way.


And you gotta keep that #1 Grandaughter status.


"Have you made any friends?"

The library and I are real tight. Best of friends really. I offer it a warm, dying body and it gives me silence to bask in hell.


"Do you have a boyfriend?"

I often fall asleep to the voice of Michael Scott, so if you consider "The Office" a legitimate relationship, then yes. I know I do...


"Are you just loving it at school?"

It's the greatest trip to the underworld I could have imagined.


"Are you eating well, sleeping right, and taking care of yourself?"

Was that a joke?


Your cousin chimes in with how well they're doing.


So you gotta throw down some harsh criticisms.



But the family's there judging you judging, so you gotta act like you're not judging.

But you're still judging.

So when cousin Jane says she's traveling abroad with her best girlfriend and your family is stark-republican.

Revenge is sweet, Jane.


But deep down you're real butt hurt.


The next morning the emotional trauma of Thanksgiving dinner feels worse than a hangover.


You're headed back to college and they ask if you'll be back next year...

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.

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.
