Experiencing The Holidays With A Significant Other: As Told By Buddy The Elf

Christmas time is a beautiful time. Filled with awesome weather, TV shows, movies, family, snow, and much more. But when spending the holidays with a significant other they will have to adjust to handle your Christmas-lovin' self. Buddy the Elfcan guide just about anyone through the holidays, especially when experiencing it with a "special someone." Here are many inevitable situations your and your boyfriend/girlfriend will endure this holiday season:

1. They will witness you get way too excited for Christmas.

And they better love you for it.

2. You make a ridiculous amount of plans.

How many times are we going to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree?

3. Every time you enter a store, you feel the need to buy something for them.

It’s hard when everything you see is a perfect gift.

4. You will then have to realize that you can’t afford to get them everything you want.

It was a short-lived dream.

5. They will be able to notice your complete change in mood during the holidays.

The thought of Christmas makes you want to be a nice person for 1 month out of the year.

6. The holidays make you very mushy

All of a sudden you realize that you actually have feelings.

7. And as the weather continues to get colder…you get even mushier.

For some odd reason, you feel the need to vocalize these feelings…all the time.

8. Your s/o knows not to tell you that Santa isn't real.

How rude.

9. You will inevitably be dragged or drag your s/o to many family events, and they will have to memorize a ridiculous amount of names.

You probably don’t even know half of your extended family member’s names, but they will still try to learn them.

10.You won’t be ashamed to let your boyfriend/girlfriend see you eat unreal amounts of food.

It’s the holidays, it’s allowed.

11. They inevitably will not be able to keep up with your holiday spirit.

Oh, you’re sad you just failed your final?! Don’t be, because Christmas is in two weeks!

12. And finally, they will have to come to terms with the fact that you will quote "Elf" in every single situation possible.

Happy Holidays!

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.
