Some of my favorite things about coming home in general, and the holidays.

Coming Home for the Holidays
Tor Olson

Holidays are a time to be spending with your loved ones. But for college students it means it’s a time to go home and eat all of your parents’ food and have them buy you things that you need, and also spend with your family.

The holidays are my favorite time of the year. I also think that the holidays are just about everyone’s favorite time of the year. It’s a time where the family gets together, tells old stories, makes new stories to tell, and eats some amazing food. The holidays are an amazing time of the year.

The smell of home during the holidays is a wonderful thing. The smell of holiday candles burning on the counter, cookies baking in the oven, the smell of egg nog, and apple cider always raise spirits. The decorations around the house make everything feel so cozy. I do not think that there is a bad thing about home during the holidays.

The holidays are also another great excuse to come home. As I have written about before, being able to go home is THE greatest thing ever. Not only do you get to see your parents and siblings, you get to see your animals.

This last week was Thanksgiving break, and seeing my dog for the first time in a while made me realize how much I missed home. There is nothing like walking through the door and your dog jumping up to see you. It is the best feeling in the world. Yes, seeing your family is just as exciting, but we all know that wonderful feeling of seeing your dog.

Holidays are such a wonderful time, and make a great excuse for college students, and other family members, to come home. It is a great feeling knowing that when you walk through the front doors of the house, you will be greeted by your dog along with all your loved ones.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, onto the next best holiday of the year, Christmas.

Happy Holidays everyone!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
