Thanksgiving Break As Told By The "Home Alone" Films

Well, you made it. Weeks of struggle bussing with school, work, clubs, and God knows what else, are over. Now what lies ahead is a week or so of pure bliss. From a mother's touch to the stressful family outings, Kevin and his gang know exactly how this is all about to go:

The end of the semester probably has you feeling like you may explode

You are out of money, happiness, and patience. The break can't come soon enough.

And your last day of class before the break is testing you more than you need

Really? Required attendance? Today?

Seriously, finals are coming really soon and like me, you probably aren't even close to being ready

Those finals are coming like a freight train and there is absolutely no extra time or extra points to find anywhere.

But you made it so now it's time to let loose

But not too loose...because finals.

And we all know what you'll really be doing during the break

Sleeping is the best early Christmas present, hands down.

Which you'll be needing to do in order to cope with your annoying younger relatives

You're tired, bitter, and too old for their mischief. But don't be too much of a Scrooge, because you know better than anyone else that childhood is a forgotten wonder that your 18 credit hours have stolen from you.

And God forbid you have to take them with you on your family outings to holiday shop


Just don't take it out on the customer service employees. They have to deal with it too, but on top of everyone else's kids that walk terrorize their store.

But on the chance you get to go alone with your mom's credit card...

Nothing feels better than shopping with a checking account with more than $1.50 in it.

But you're barely an adult at this point so you know you don't really belong at the store on your own

And all the people from your hometown constantly remind you of that.

Not to mention being home again makes you feel like it's ok to be 10 again

From getting you extra blankets during your afternoon naps and bringing you snacks, moms make it hard to go back to the real world.

Even though that's probably not for the best

Ok so try not to take too much advantage of the whole, "kid" thing. An 18 year old jumping on the bed is a little silly. Even though you totally tried it.

And during your last few days of break, you'll be constantly reminded by your parents of your impending doom.

I know break is over soon mom. No reminder please.

Cause back at school, you'll be feeling a lot of this

A whole lot of struggle bus.

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:

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.
