Making Christmas Cookies As Told By "How I Met Your Mother"
ABC News

Every year, my family and I designate at least one weekend to making Christmas cookies. This is a special tradition that I'm sure many have. However, my family is extremely "walnuts" when it comes to baking holiday treats. Our kitchen is on the small side, so every surface is covered by baking utensils, cooling racks, cookies, cookie tins, and ingredients galore. With five of us working at once, it can get a bit hectic. We always run into a few issues, but the end results are always delicious and worth it. Here is how our cookie baking usually goes, as told by, "How I Met Your Mother".

1. Accept that you have to make 12-15 different kinds of cookies in two days


2. Put Christmas music on


3. Make sure you have all of the ingredients


4.Then someone spills the flour


5. Watch the cookies impatiently as they bake


6. Burn your fingers and then yell at the inanimate object that burnt you


7. Sample a cookie..or two


8. Beg to eat a couple more..and then get denied


9. Finish baking all of your cookies and feel...wait for it...


10. Share your cookies with people...and blow them away


11. Feel accomplished for baking delicious treats and spreading holiday cheer!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
