Your Family As Bands During The Holidays
FanPop

Ahh, the holidays. Tons of food, cozy homes, and your dysfunctional family. Let's face it, we all have that one family member that is just out there or maybe your entire family is like that. And sometimes it's a struggle to deal with them, so let's think of them in a new light: as bands. Yep, I said it. Let's compare these wonderfully weird family members to bands. Here we have five musical doppelgangers for those standard issue family members that we all have.

1. The Weird Uncle - Sigur Ros


The weird uncle. You know the one who always speaks nonsense and can stop a conversation mid-sentence with something he thinks is witty, but highly irrelevant. You usually give him a weak laugh, or the "you tried" pat on the back. Sigur Ros is the perfect fit for our uncle. We love how beautiful they sound, but honestly have no clue what they are talking about.


2. Fun Loving Cousin - Real Friends

We all have that one cousin that we adore. In fact, he hated his hometown just as much as you do and he got out. He's traveled and seen more of the world than you. And much like you, he puts on a happy face even though he is dying inside during his visit home. With their happy sounding music and often times insight fully sad lyrics, Real Friends becomes that cousin.

3. Overly Political Father - Stray From The Path

With elections happening right before the holidays, politics are often a big topic amongst families and old dad is the biggest fan of political talk. He is loud and abrasive and doesn't care about your beliefs. Nope, you know nothing about politics when dad is involved. To mix things up, he's probably thrown back a few shots of whiskey to fuel his fire and to ensure those red veins pop from his forehead. Stray From The Path fits with dad like turkey and stuffing with their pissed off angry sound and politically fueled lyrics.

4. Cool Aunt - Halsey


She's your mom's younger sister. She's hip, she's happening, and she's the person you call when you're drunk and need a ride home. She's your cool aunt and she's definitely the black sheep in the family. When you wanted to dye your hair blue, she showed up at your doorstep with the supplies and helped you through it. But she had blue hair before it was cool. Just like when everyone was really into Dubstep, she liked it first. Not all of her ideas are the best, but over 90% are so you listen to her advice and knowledge. Being on the up and up puts your aunts match as Halsey. Coming onto the scene with catchy music and different look, she matches your aunt perfectly.

5. Edgy Younger Sister - Attila

Everyone goes through phases. And if you're a 12 year old girl, you've already encountered about one hundred different ones. Your younger sister has now hit her edgy phase, where she has traded out her regular bright clothes for a darker pallet. She now sulks through the house with eyeliner dripping down her cheeks and enough hair spray for two million old ladies. She's got a brand new foul mouth and attitude to match. All of this is a little bit of a front because she secretly still indulges in my little pony and kept her favorite Barbie when she threw all of her toys away. With a front like that, Attila is her match. With their so-called bad attitude and party music, they really just care about what everyone else thinks about them and will crack very easily.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
