Finals are approaching, the sun is going down earlier and it's getting colder which only means one thing: it's almost time for college kids to return home to their families for the holidays. Going home for some is their saving grace and for others, it's the time they dread every single year. There are pros and cons to going home and if you're gearing up to return to your homeland by plane, train or car then you'll definitely be able to relate to things you experience as a college kid going back for the holidays, as told by the cast of Friends.

1. Eating your mom's home cooked meals instead of dining hall food

2. Seeing your old friends again and reminiscing

3. Getting asked by every family member if you have a girlfriend/ boyfriend and how school is going

4. When your ex asks to see you

5. Reliving your childhood memories in your old home

6. Seeing your dog

7. Trying to live off your parents' dime again

8. Finally relaxing for hours with no demands


9. Realizing there's actually nothing to do in your hometown

10. But you know you'll be back soon in your favorite place with your favorite people

I just can't wait to see my dog, not run into my ex and eat a home-cooked meal. The holiday season is almost here and I'm ready.

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.
