If your birthday is anytime during the month of December, you know the struggle of feeling like your birthday gets lost of the holiday hustle and bustle. Although there are downsides to a holiday birthday, it is not all bad. These gifs from The Office give a look into what a Christmas birthday is really like.

 Drawing the line at skipping a birthday party because "there's not enough time"

 "Ohhh. You have a birthday this month?" 

When your attempt to make your birthday a big deal fails.

Emphasizing that you want a birthday present, too.

How you feel about having a holiday birthday most of the time

When someone makes an effort to make your birthday special

Because no one can come to your party due to Christmas gatherings

The budgeted birthday party

Your friends forgetting it's your birthday

 The spectacular surprise party your family pulled off

 When you realize how truly blessed you are and feel badly for complaining about it

 The perfect gift

 Your reaction at the end of the best birthday ever

 After your birthday and Christmas have passed

 Realizing that your friends and family are the best for making time for you/spending money on you during the busy holidays.

At the end of the day, I realize how blessed I am and know that having another year to celebrate my birthday at is enough to be thankful for.

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.
