Now don't get me wrong going home is a wonderful concept during the holidays. Family and friends finally gather and reunite after so long. Also who does not love having break of school for a while? Don't get too excited though because after being away for so long there are always those curious family members and friends bound to know what it's like in college. Brace yourself when you go home for the holidays and can't avoid these questions and comments.

1. How's college?

The most basic question anyone can come up and ask you. But no worries, who says you have to give a long complicated answer describing the amount of all nighter you pulled through this semester or how your body only functions through caffeine? A simply reply like "Oh it's been good" does the trick.

2. What are you majoring in again?

Everyone seems to know what university you attend but somehow they can't remember what major you are studying. Let's hope you really love your major and get used to repeating it when anyone asks about it.

3. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet?

For some reason, family members and friends are always so nosy about relationship status. Prepare yourself because there is no escaping this question.

4. "Wow you got skinner/Wow looks like you gained some weight"

Now this is not a question but it is fair to say that someone will point out how you look. Got to love family even if they are really judgement.

5. How are your grades?

Of course someone has to mention more about school but since it's break that is the last thing you want to think about.

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.
