If you are a human being (or even alive), then there's a good chance you eat food. You probably enjoy food, too. Maybe you eat holiday food, maybe you enjoy it, maybe you take it one step further and holiday food is pretty much your only will to live. Let's hope at least the first applies to you as you must eat to survive. And you have to eat to please your grandma. Holiday food is where it's at. I mean, all food is where it's at, but, lets be real, holiday food is superior to regular food for no real reason. So here is a list of the best (or worst?) holiday foods that you'll hopefully get to enjoy this winter! (Spoiler alert: I left out the meats because we need to focus on more important things--the side dishes.)

1. Pumpkin pie

I know there are many, many poor souls that don't enjoy pumpkin pie, but I can't leave it off the list. It practically is the list! The fluffy whipped topping and appealing orange filling demands to be eaten and never disappoints.

2. Stuffing

I don't care who you are, if you don't like stuffing then I don't like you. Stuffing is quite possibly one of the best inventions ever and we have been blessed to be alive during a time in which stuffing exists for our own consumption.

3. Mashed potatoes

Mashed potatoes aren't technically a seasonal food, but they taste better during the holidays. Maybe it's because you can pair them with turkey, gravy and bread.

4. Gravy

Mashed potatoes, paired with gravy might just be the best part of the holiday season. Maybe you mix your stuffing in, maybe you get some bread in on it. However you eat it, it's delicious.

5. Green bean casserole

I suppose this might be somewhat midwestern, but nonetheless delicious (whether you call it a hot dish or a casserole).

6. Hot chocolate

Not a food, but hot chocolate is delicious and deserves recognition. If you're looking to switch it up, try peppermint hot chocolate!

7. Christmas cookies

Whether they're the cheap, store bought, magically delicious cookies or the homemade, frosted cookies, they are always amazing and so much fun to make!

8. Gingerbread cookies

I don't understand why I love and hate these equally or why they are so perfect. Can anyone explain?

9. Eggnog

Eggnog is simply a requirement for the holidays. And, if you're over 21, then you should probably spike it. I don't know, just seems like a tradition.

10. Bread

Bread might be the best thing to ever be invented. No matter what form it takes, it always goes perfectly with whatever you're eating. For the holidays, it's especially delicious with mashed potatoes and gravy.

It's not quite time to enjoy these wonderful holiday foods, but 'tis the season and the holidays are indeed approaching. I couldn't be more excited. Did I make you drool? And if this isn't you when it's turkey time:

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.
