Ever wonder how you can get the most out of the holiday season and get that perfect movie style feeling with your family and friends? There are actually a couple of specific ways that you could potentially do this and get the most out of your holiday season. Its time for you to put aside any bad that and potentially bad feelings that you predict you may have coming for the season and to think forward thoughts by planning ahead this is one of the main ways that I tend to enjoy the most out of my holiday season.

There are a couple of ways that I had managed to make the most out of my holiday season and they are pretty simple to follow in terms of scheduling and keeping with the same method. The first reason that I manage to get the most out of my holiday season is by blocking any potential negative thought that may come into my head by concentrating on other things such as shopping or reading. This is definitely one of the more challenging aspects of the holidays because the amount of stress that people have coming into the season is brought on with another stress about future events. Doing other things that can occupy your mind is the best way to stay away from negative thoughts because they give you something to do instead and this I have found to be the best way that anyone can avoid becoming drowned in negative thoughts.

The second way that I have learned to overcome any of my negative thoughts during the holiday season is to understand that this is a time for happiness and by allowing yourself to feel down among your friends and family you may bring them down as well. This may seem difficult to understand but what some people may realize is that their friends and family are going to feel the same way in terms of that down feeling and in order to keep the status quo it is important to act as if you are enjoying the holidays. It may make you feel like a burden but it is still important to take on happy times as happy times.

The last simple solution to getting the most out of good times like the holidays is simple... Relax. Believe it or not when you sit and just relax you are getting the best experience possible in terms of enjoying stories with friends or having a good meal. Relaxing if often forgot among many people because their lives are so busy but if you learn to relax you can enjoy what comes as the best feeling in the season of joy. Having a relaxing but fun time is the key secret to the holidays and along with all the other reasons it can be one of the greatest ways to spend time with family and friends.

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.

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.
