But I will still be watching Elf on repeat.

A Letter To Freeform As You Crush A Little Bit Of My Holiday Spirit

Honestly, I don’t have a lot to say to you. I’m a little bit angry, but you probably have your reasons. You’ve left a lot of your closest followers for years a little confused, but I guess you are assuming we will get over it.

Well, WE WON’T. (Ok, yeah, I get the world is not ending because of this). It may be more of a personal issue, and rather satirical, but I am a little bit disappointed at your lack of consultation from dedicated viewers like myself.

I’m not feeling that free. I haven’t really looked into why you changed the name but I feel slightly trapped in a glass case of, “did you change your logo?” and, “will you ever bring the OG name back?” The 25 Days of Christmas still remains a wonderful tradition that excites even the oldest of people during the holidays, but it’s an ABC Family tradition!! You keep the classics rolling in and I can hardly wait, so I can’t really be angry with you for that long, but I’m trying to hold a grudge for a little. I’m trying to stand my ground because I keep seeing this: “ABC Family (now Freeform).” Waste of your time if you ask me!!!!! You certainly caused yourself a lot of trouble because now everyone has to write an explanation to avoid real confusion.

I get that I am a little ridiculous and you would probably agree. I’m about ready to start a petition to “Bring Back ABC Family” and I am convinced that I will be getting a lot of signatures so beware!!!!! This ABC Family fan is not backing down anytime soon. I believe you are looking make it known that your network is not totally “family friendly,” but you can play all of your “not family friendly” shows after the families go to bed.

On the real though, I’ll get over it. You still let me watch “The Polar Express” fifteen times before Christmas and for that I am eternally grateful. You even have “Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory” playing which is not even a Christmas movie but is, in fact, one of my favorites, so maybe you could sense my discontentment in your name change and wanted to alleviate some of my extreme stress. I applaud you for showing “Elf” twelve times in the next 25 days.

Freeform, I am writing to you to express my utter disappointment. Expect a petition to surface soon as I get my s**t together and am able to actually channel my rage into making ABC Family great again. Honestly though, that would be a lot of work and I think I’ll just keep sitting on the couch quoting “Elf” and trying to train my dog to be more like “Santa Paws.” Is it too late to ask Santa to change the network back to ABC Family?

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.
