Spooky season is over, which means it's all about the holiday season! Although Christmas is my favorite holiday, I definitely share these relatable moments with the Grinch.

Hearing "We Only Have A Few Weeks Left Of Class, Time To Start Reviewing"

Giphy

Not having to learn new material for unit exams is one of the best things about the end of the semester. Only having to review old tests and quizzes is a blessing. Time for more Netflix and naps!

Catching Feelings For Someone When You Told Yourself All Semester To Leave The Boys Alone

Giphy

No matter how hard I've tried all semester to stay away from the boys, the last few weeks is usually when I catch feelings and will regret it as soon as I leave for winter break. In college, we always start to like someone at the most inconvenient times. Which is always. It is always inconvenient. No boys. No problems.

Getting Bored Faster Since It Gets Dark Early 

Giphy

During the seasons other than winter, there's plenty of time to do activities outside since it won't get dark until a little later. Once the end of the semester hits, it's getting dark around 5:30 giving you more time to be bored instead of outside.

Looking At My Planning After Checking My Grades

Giphy

When we really believed we did as good as we thought all semester but you need a 500 out of 100 on the final to pass the class. Checking your planner and giving yourself little tips on how to organize your break downs.

Ending World Hunger, Starting With My Own 

Giphy

Finding any excuse not to do some of the important things in your planner. Sometimes I like to write simple tasks in my planner just so I can cross them off and feel accomplished about doing something. Why not start with ending world hunger, but beginning by ending your own first.

Eating By Yourself Since Your Academics Took Over Your Social Life

Giphy

At this point, I have little to no social life because my academics have taken it over. Trying to find friends to eat dinner with is like pulling teeth.

Hating Yourself For Being So Lazy All Semester

Giphy

Hating yourself for your grades, how you didn't have enough fun this semester, and getting upset over anything and everything about yourself. 7 o'clock? Right on schedule.

Trying To Pick A Project Group From Your Class Roster

Giphy

Manly classes have group projects at the end of the semester and some you get to choose who you get to work with. But after hearing stories of how horrible these people are at being a team player, turning in work, or even showing up to meetings, you don't want to work with anyone besides yourself.

First Part of Getting Ready For The Christmas Party

Giphy

The first couple of outfits you try on are really cute and your friends hype you up especially to get you moving faster so the pregame can start. You're really feeling yourself in these cute outfits until....

After Looking At Yourself Too Long And End Up Hating Your Outfit

Giphy

You try on a bunch of outfits and liked the first few, but it just wasn't good enough to wear. After trying on outfit after outfit, you just decide you're not going out anymore because you're already irritated and the night hasn't even started yet.

Borrowing Your Friend's Ugly Sweater But It Doesn't Look As Good On Yourself As It Does On Her

Giphy

After your friends convince you to go out still and they let you borrow one of their ugly sweaters. However, their outfit doesn't look as good on you as it does on them. Usually I'll end up walking around the party uncomfortable and still irritated until the liquid courage kicks in.

Sitting Around Waiting For The Last Days To Fly By

Giphy

Nothing is more annoying than having finals spaced out and having to sit around for days doing nothing. You've already studied your butt off but what more is there to do? You end up just sitting around waiting for the days to roll on by so you can finally go home to relax.

Walking Out Of The Final Thinking You Totally Bombed It

Giphy

Reading the first question and thinking... WTF IS THIS?! Almost bursting into tears during the exam because you're thinking you're toast. But after walking out after, whether you failed or not, your nerves have calmed and you find your cool again.

FINALS ARE OVER AND WINTER BREAK MAY COMMENCE

Giphy

Spring semester schedule has been made. Finals are over. Your car is packed. And it is time to GO HOME! You survived the semester and get to go home to celebrate your time back at home. Alexa, play Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
