With the season of thanks in full swing, it is a perfect time for us to reflect on what we are grateful for. Most of us think about the big things in our lives that we are thankful for, but often overlook the small moments that make our lives so special. It is important to give recognition to these seemingly unimpressionable moments and appreciate the little things.

1. When your roommate takes the trash out for you 

2. When your mom sends you a sweet text

3. When you spend your Saturday at a football game

4. When your friend makes you laugh so hard that you cry (or snort)

5. When someone holds the door for you 

6. When the cashier tells you to have a good day

7. When your professor extends office hours 

8. When someone texts you at midnight on your birthday

9. When the person walking past in the hallway smiles at you 

10. When your hot chocolate doesn't burn your tongue 

11. When your friend lets you borrow a piece of clothing 

12. When your dog wants to cuddle with you

13. When your boyfriend/girlfriend waits for you to start the next episode of your show

14. When your sibling sends you a life update 

15. When you make Christmas cookies with your family 

16. When your dad teaches you how to cook his specialty dish 

17. When your best friend's mom acts as your second mother 

18. When you sing in the car with friends 

19. When your friend packs band-aids because she knows your heels will give you a blister

20. When your friend kills that spider you're scared of 

21. When you come home to your own bed over a holiday

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.
