Why Going Home for Spring Break Is the Best

Spring break is a life-saver. It always comes right when we're at our wits end, like a knight in shining armor here to save us from the dreaded deadline dragon. There are lots of little things that make being home for spring break great–here's just a few of them.

1. No more classes.

In a week or so, there'll probably be papers an exams to worry about, regular deadlines and the sort. But for now, you're safe. Classes won't find you here, and you can pretend, at least for a few days, that you don't have any homework.

2. Finally getting some sleep—in your own bed.

All beds are nice, but there's something very special about your very own bed back home. And if you're anything like me, sleeping in your own bed is the best feeling in the world. Not to mention, you get to sleep in for more than 4-5 hours for the first time in weeks.

3. Eating home-cooked meals.

Whether its lasagna or fresh-baked cookies, eating mom's meals at home is like a giant teddy bear hug for your soul – and your stomach. Good food is sure to wipe away all the stress of the semester.

4. Visiting all your favorite places.

Being home for a week means going to your friends' houses, your favorite coffee shop, the beach... All your favorite places are once again within your reach, and sometimes it can be nice to rediscover your hometown for a little while.

5. Being with the people you love.

Most importantly, being on break means getting to see all the people you cherish the most, from parents, to childhood friends, to aunties and uncles and more. Sleep, food and freedom are all well and great, but it's the people we surround ourselves with that truly make us happy. So enjoy spring break and make every moment count!


Enjoy spring 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.
