Welcome home! You've waited all semester for this. You're ready to decompress, see your friends, and cuddle your dog until they leave you for your sister. Here's what every college kid's winter break looks like:

1. Sleep

You’ve been stressing all semester, and you’re finally crashing. It could be one, two, or even four naps per day. You’re catching up on some well-deserved beauty sleep.

2. Eat, out of boredom

You’ve got too much time on your hands, and sometimes your mom is all-too-willing to whip up your favorite dishes. Come on, how could you say no to those cookies?!

3. Try to work out for the first few days

You figure, “Oh, I’ve got so much free time, I’m going to hit the gym every day!” But do you? This will probably wear off after the first week. That Christmas roast is looking too good, and the gym isn’t looking as good the day after.

4. Look your best with nowhere to go

Maybe you’ll learn to curl your hair, or try out a new makeup look - you know, just in case Prince Charming comes rolling through the neighborhood.

5. Look for any excuse to find adventure

Sooner or later, the boredom will get the best of you.

6. Visit their favorite hometown hangouts

You’ve been waiting to go to these places for months, and now it’s time to run home.

7. Cuddle their pet until the pet can’t stand them anymore

Your dog has had enough. It was cute the first three days, no they’d like some space, please.

8. Watch endless hours of Netflix

Need I say more?

9. ...And finish a series or two

I’ve already finished two.

10. Bumble & Tinder swipe to your heart’s content

Because maybe the hometown hotties are single and ready to mingle now.


Don’t worry, you've got plenty of December left. Enjoy your solitude, your delicious food and your freedom. Come January, you’ll be wishing you had it all back.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
