Post-Thanksgiving Thoughts

All of us know the feeling when it's almost thanksgiving break, and we

get a few days off to just spend with family and relax for the holiday.

We also all know the feeling when Thanksgiving is over, and we have to

go back to work, or to school. Here are some thoughts I know we are all

bound to be thinking right now:

Only 4 weeks until Christmas! Yay Christmas!

As soon as Thanksgiving is over, I am ready to start decorating for

Christmas. I start listening to the Christmas music playlists on

Spotify, I start bugging my mom to go get our Christmas tree. I am in

full Christmas mood.

Who has leftover Thanksgiving dinner I can eat?

Just because I'm in full Christmas mood after Thanksgiving does not mean

I'm over the food. Thanksgiving food is by far one of the best food

categories. Give me all of the stuffing, all of the mashed potatoes, all

of the desserts.

Wait, but does my family really have to leave?

Thanksgiving break being over means that my entire family has to leave

and go back home. My brother goes back to Boston, my sister and her

fiancé go back to Connecticut, my cousins go back to Chicago, and

Buffalo, and all over the country, and I'm left being depressed until

they all come back.

Wow the semester is almost over-I can't wait!

When I go back to school after thanksgiving break and realize I only

have two weeks left of classes, I just start to count down the days

until Christmas break is here (because it's really not that far away

when you take the time to count).

Wow the semester is almost over-I have so much to do before the semester is over.

After the excitement for Christmas break sets in, the panic of how many

papers I have to write, how many projects I have to work on, and how

many tests I have to take sets in real quick. Yes, I may only have two

weeks left, but those two weeks are about to be the most stressful two

weeks ever.

On a serious note, I am so sad that Thanksgiving (one of my favorite holidays because of the family, and of course the food) is over, but I'm excited for the Christmas season to begin!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
