What is the holiday season like for college students? It means internally crying because you need to buy gifts for friends and family (because you're not in enough debt as it is). It means being excited about holiday songs and endless food, but wincing every time a family member asks you about your nonexistent love life. Here's a college student's holiday season as told by "Friends." Enjoy!

1. Celebrating the spirit of the holiday's cannot be contained to one day, no, it's a whole month long celebration.

2. And that means dancing nonstop to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" and any other holiday song that comes on.

3. Being home for the holiday's also means eating lots and lots of food. Whether it's a home-cooked meal from your mom, or a holiday party with endless dip, there's always food and you can't stop eating it.

4. But you do not have time to catch your family members up on your life when there's food to be eaten.

5.You're not sure how you can afford to buy gifts for everyone, so you have to get a little creative.

6. One thing you're sure of is you're not going to do any homework you're supposed to do.

7. Your being constantly reminded that you're single, whether it's mistletoe, New Year's Eve, or even your family members. If you're single for the holiday's, it's kind of hard to forget it.

8. And if you are in new a relationship,sharing the news with family isn't much easier, and it'll be all the relatives want to hear about.

9. But on the bright side, your friends will all be home for break.

10. And you can wear sweaters all day everyday.

11. And of course, you will always be that little excited kid when it comes to opening gifts on Christmas morning.

HAPPY HOLIDAY'S, EVERYONE!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
