It's OK To Sip Hot Cocoa With Yourself This Holiday Season

This holiday season it's so hard to get wrapped up in having a significant other, you scroll through your Instagram and Facebook this time of year and all you see is coupley posts. This posts may include couples you know that are dating, engaged, and even married. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing to be in a relationship if you currently are in one, but I'm also saying that it's okay to be without one.

The holidays mean movies, presents, and maybe some parties. Movies that are in theatres are usually themed and have an element that involves couples. But does that mean you have to have a Significant Other to watch it? No, but it would be a nice bonus to have. Same with Netflix and Hallmark movies, it would be a nice to have somebody to cuddle with as we would be watching a holiday rom-com.

Presents? Why yes, if you are in a relationship you would have to get your boyfriend or girlfriend a thoughtful gift. While that does seem like an adventure and closest to the sweetest thing ever, your bank account would be just fine without it if you weren't in love. So you could actually buy yourself more presents, which your account would be somewhat okay with (I mean treat yourself all day if you want). My point is, is that its okay to spend time online shopping with yourself or even your other friends that are single, #singlealltheway am I right?

Lastly parties, I know holiday parties do exist in 2018. They usually include ugly sweaters, booze, white elephant gifts, and much more. So by you being single, it just makes it all the more fun because you can just show up and not worry about if your significant other forgot to wear their ugly sweater or even worse forgot booze/gifts for the party (okay all of this may not happen but it might). Anywho, you can just kick your feet up and drink your wine girl, there will be somebody for you later down the road but during this holiday season its okay to sip your hot chocolate alone.

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.

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.
