DIY's Your Home Needs During The Holiday Season
Mountain Modern Life

It sort of comes naturally to American's for their love of the holiday seasons. So much time is spent decorating, shopping and even crafting for around the home and for close ones. If you enjoy the holidays and like to keep your spirits up throughout the stressful, yet cheerful months you need to invest in some of these DIYs for your home.

1) Decorative candles

These are for around the whole house as accents. Just something nice to look at though out the house with a holiday spin. You can choose what to put in the water and you can even add burlap rope or a bow for the outside!

2) Stuffed jars for centerpieces or accents

These are for centerpieces or for side tables and even for a window sill. You can stuff the jars with ornaments, bows, Christmas candies and even fake snow!

3) Decorative Christmas trees (yes, besides your big one)

These are for the mantle or other little places like corner shelves and what not. They're good for that area that just needs something when you're sitting there staring at an empty space.

4) Adorable signs with Christmas sayings or symbols.

You can use these for shelf decor or even replacing an old picture frame for the season. You can keep them PG depending on your household or spice it up and make it funny.

5) Personalized Christmas ornaments

These can really show your tree off with your own style. You can pick one theme or make a bunch of different ones and have fun with it. These are the ones you like to show off when company comes over.

6) Simple and sweet door wreaths

This isn't too much but also isn't too little. You may not have enough room for a huge wreath or just don't have the patience for more detail. You can also form other words!

7) A Christmas countdown chalkboard

Everyone needs this just to remind themselves how much close they are to having off of work, being out of school and being around their loved ones. You can jazz it up as much as you want and on whatever you want too because chalkboard paint is easy to put on anything.

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.

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.
