Hallmark Channel

Ah, the Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas.

You've probably heard of it, even if you've never seen it. It's a wonderful gift that we don't deserve where the Hallmark Channel plays original movies 24 hours a day until Christmas. It's an emotional experience to get invested in the Hallmark Channel and once you get sucked in, you'll never go back.

1. You turn on the Hallmark Channel to see what the hype is about

It's an explosion of Christmas. Why are there so many sweaters? Why does the whole town take Christmas so seriously?

2. You suddenly have watched three movies without realizing it

How did time fly by so quickly? They never stopped showing movies and I never left my couch.

3. You've seen so many movies in one sitting, you realize they're all kind of the same thing and grow resentful

What is all the fuss about? I've seen one. I've seen them all.

4. Ba Humbug! You HATE the Hallmark Channel!

There's no reason to like this channel! It's idiotic! The movies have the same actors even. This is a crime against humanity. We deserve better programming.

5. You had a bad day and like a gift from the heavens, Hallmark channel is still playing Christmas movies even at this late hour. So you decide to watch another

They're just there. They're playing all the time. They never stop. It's like... they're waiting for me to watch them.

6. You realize Hallmark channel is happiness, joy and the most wholesome thing you need in your life

Nothing can bring you down, you have the Hallmark channel.

7. You have to tell everyone about how much you love the Hallmark channel

Everyone needs this Christmas joy in their life! How have I lived without this masterpiece? Have you seen this movie? I loved that one with the girl and the guy and the house! Yes and the one with the prince! Or the one with the doctor!

8. You defend the Hallmark channel to ALL nay-sayers!

"THE HALLMARK CHANNEL IS MAGICAL CHRISTMAS GOODNESS! I DON'T CARE THAT THEY'RE ALL THE SAME! I LIKE THAT I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE LIFE DOESN'T HAVE HAPPY ENDINGS BUT THE HALLMARK CHANNEL DOES! THE HALLMARK CHANNEL ALWAYS HAS HAPPY ENDINGS!"

9. You believe in love again and dream of moving to a small Christmas town with the best Christmas cookies ever

Nothing can get better than this!

10. And then... Christmas is over. And the movies are gone. But the Christmas magic is still in your heart.

You look at the Hallmark channel sometimes and remember a time when the movies were there for you to watch whenever you wanted. You smile because you love them. You smile because you're sad. You smile because that's what Hallmark Christmas movies would want you to do even though they are gone.

11. Then the holidays come around again and you get to rewatch your favorite Christmas movies! Even some new ones! And everything is right with the world.

Yay! Chrsitmas time is here again!

12. Most importantly, the Hallmark channel stays in your heart forever for Christmas seasons to come

Because you know, you're home when you're watching the Hallmark channel.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.
