Thanksgiving is over and that means November is quickly coming to an end once again. With the dropping of leaves and the temperature, comes the first snowfall, Christmas movies and music, and the sudden burst of reds and greens! My Decembers each year also bring BOTH of my sister's birthdays, MY birthday and then Christmas with New Year's Eve! Despite it being one of the busiest months of the year if not THE busiest month, it is definitely my favorite.

The first reason for it being my favorite month is that on the first day of December, I get to celebrate my younger sister's birthday along with my uncles. She is just two years younger than me and so each year growing up we would share birthday parties! This meant lots of fun to start off the celebratory month. We'd enjoy bowling parties, gymnastics parties or even just game parties in our own home. It is always fun to celebrate a birthday with family and friends! This applies to my youngest sister's birthday on the 12th of December as well!

My birthday falls just a week before Christmas Eve on December 17th. This leaves for three weeks of celebration considering just a week after Christmas Eve is New Year's Eve! It truly does become one of the most wonderful times of the year.

Some of my favorite things to do in the month of December are go Christmas shopping, listen to Christmas music, watch Elf and The Polar Express on repeat, go sledding, skiing, and spend time with my family. This year my family and I are going to New York City for a few days which I am excited for because of how decorated the city is at this time of year! Overall December is a time to reflect and spend time with those that you love. It truly is my favorite month of the year.

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.

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
