Hello December And Happy Birthday!

Having a December birthday sometimes gets a bad rep because people believe that December babies get less gifts. However this is completely untrue.

1. On December 1st, Instagram becomes a welcome mat for "Hello December" photos. People decorate their pages with photos and tag their friends who share their birthday month with them!


2. You get some nice presents on your birthday and on Christmas. Some people believe that parents become lazy and tend to clump Christmas and birthday presents together. Most of the time, parents enjoy giving separate gifts for the two different occasions!


3. Friends and families are not working or in school so they are free to celebrate a birthday week! People make sure to celebrate and make the week more memorable than the one from last year!

4. The most amazing people are born in December!

5. Excitement! Towns are buzzing with excitement for the holidays. There are the sparkling lights and the houses that go all out for decorating contests.


6. The competition to have the best holiday birthday party. People are itching to have the best birthday/Christmas party so that when they go back to school after the new year they can compare with other friends that had a party as well.




7. Winter Break. Everyone knows that they begin counting down the days until winter break on December 1st. They are super excited to have time off to celebrate multiple birthdays with friends.



8. The food. Friends and family go full out in terms of their cooking when it comes to the holidays. They have more time to be creative with the food they choose to share with friends and family.



9. Beverages. Eggnog and Hot Chocolate. Need I say more?


10. Shopping. It becomes more fun to Christmas shop when your birthday is in December. Let's be real, having relatives means getting money!


11. Christmas is in December and therefore it is the most happy month of the year! There are plenty of holiday lights and people are generally in a great holiday spirit to celebrate a birthday and Christmas!

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.

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.

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:

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.
