Tis’ The Season To Be Cuffed—Or Get Uncuffed

This actually might be the worst time of the year to be single. However, it doesn't have to be all that bad!

This is probably my absolute favorite season ever. And I'm sure a lot of you reading this can agree with me.

What's not to love? Christmas music 24/7, beautiful lights and decorations, gift-giving, quality time with your loved one—maybe even a special someone for some of us.

I won't sugar coat it. The holidays are much better when you have someone to kiss under the mistletoe.

This actually might be the worst time of the year to be single. However, it doesn't have to be all that bad!

A lot of my friends have unfortunately gotten themselves uncuffed—which is totally okay. I personally don't think it's right to stay with someone if you know deep down it isn't going to work out in the long run. Sure, it sucks that you're breaking up during such a jolly time of the year, but so what?

It's great to have someone to spend Christmas with, but even if you don't have that special someone, you have many other "special someones" aka your family and friends.

All that truly matters is the people who love and support you. Use this holiday season to think about not only yourself but others. Spoil your mom, treat your dad. Go to Christmas-themed events with your friends! Couple pictures aren't the only things that look cute on Instagram. As a matter of fact, my high school group of friends and I dressed up one year in matching Santa-esque outfits and took a picture with Santa at one of our local malls.

I don't expect you to go all out, but feel free to. Just remember, my single ladies and gents, the holidays don't have to be so lonely. You're always surrounded with people who love you!

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.

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:

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.
