Oh, the joy of the holidays! Cooler weather, peppermint drinks, pretty lights, and just that sense of magic in the air. Personally, I love the holiday season more than any other person I know. Plus, coming home and spending time with your family is always an amazing time. However, coming home for the holidays can seem like more of an interrogation session than just some holly-jolly time with your loved ones. With that, these are the five questions that college students hate the most when they return home for the holidays.

1. "Are you dating anyone?"

No. The answer is always no. Either I'm truly single or I'm just leading you to believe that I am. Besides, do you really want to explain to your grandma what Tinder is? I don't think so.

2. "Hey, Mom, did you see this picture..."

That sibling/ cousin that always tries to throw you under the bus. What happens in college stays in college until your devious relative wants to bring up that Snap of you shotgunning Pabst at a tailgate.

3. "How well are your grades?"

Way to give me flashbacks of sleepless, caffeinated nights of studying and mental breakdowns. But yes, my grades are fine (as far as you know.)

4. "Are you looking for any jobs/ internships?"

Thanks for reminding of the millions of stuff I have to do. I almost had a feeling of calm.

5. "What's your major again?"

Usually followed by, "So what exactly are you going to do with that?" Also, "You're not going to make any money with that degree." I'm a Mass Communications major with a focus in Broadcasting News. Translation: I want to be a TV reporter. And yes, I know I will be poor.

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?

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.
