Coming home from college for Winter Break is one of the most anticipated things for many reasons. Mostly because you are done with classes, finals and school in general for an entire month, but also because you get to see your family and get some quality R&R without the stress of school. While on break there are so many emotions felt it can be a bit overwhelming, but it's just nice to be home.

Relaxed

You no longer have classes, or campus jobs, or homework so laying in bed binge watching that new show on Netflix is totally acceptable! You've worked hard all semester for this moment, enjoy it and don't let anyone tell you to move.

Freedom

Without that busy schedule, you now have free time to do everything you've put off all semester. And being home, you can plan everything under the sun with all the friends you haven't seen since summer.

Satisfaction

After a whole semester of terrible cafeteria food, you can FINALLY eat a home cooked meal. Even better, you now have a fully stocked pantry with snacks galore and the best part is you didn't even have to buy it!

Fear

Seeing your final grades at the end of the semester can be terrifying, but it's break and you survived the class so celebrate!

Happiness

You are finally home and with family for an entire month, you get to see your friends and you get to take month off from the stress of college. What more could make you happy? Oh right, we're college kids.. don't worry, there's eggnog and Bailey's too.

Merry Christmas, y'all. Enjoy your break!

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.
