Going Home For Spring Break Is The Move

In college, going home is always the best. However, some students opt to travel somewhere fun and tropical. When you are a freshman though, going back home is always the best option.

Going Home For Spring Break Is The Move

I am from California and so getting away from snowy Syracuse is my top priority right now. Knowing that the sun and beautiful weather is waiting for me, is worth the long flight to the west coast. Although, it's a short time, the trip back home is much more worth it then sticking around somewhere you don't want to be.

Plus, you have three more years to go to fun places for spring break. Take freshman year to have a breather, see your family, and your dog. Trust me, it will be worth it. Personally, I have been counting down the days until the break and getting out of the 14-degree weather and snowflakes that pelt into my face every morning.

When I went home for winter break, the craziest thing was leaving the house without my huge coat and just wearing normal clothes, it was shocking to me. Even if you are not from a great place like California, going back to your house is just the best. You can sleep in your own bed, shower without shoes and spend some quality time not worrying about school and strep throat.

Cherish the time you have with your family because it is limited. Try not to spend every night with your friends, but maybe lay low and have a quiet home cooked meal, with actual food. There is plenty of time to get drunk with a friend when you get back to school, but when is the next time you will have a full kitchen at your disposal? My advice is to savor those days and do all the things that college does not allow.

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.
