If you're a Christmas addict, lucky for you, you're not alone.The first step is admitting. We've all been there. Countless times our partners have rolled their eyes when we come home with more Christmas items they label as "junk". More than once have they taken our credit cards and said it's time for an intervention. Don't blame yourself, they just don't understand. I mean, it is the most wonderful time of the year.

1. You started shopping for Christmas presents...in October.

You feel proud of yourself for being ahead of the game, but as the gifts start to pile up in the closet you realize you more than likely went overboard.


2. When someone mentions "fake tree" you feel the need to bless them with holy water because they are sinning.

Sure, not sweeping up pine needles every five seconds is nice. But what is Christmas without the smell of the tree? Or the sap that sticks to your fingers and causes you to ruin half of your furniture? How boring.


3. Your poor friends have suffered through at least a month of Christmas music prior to December.

Okay, but honestly there's not a single bad Christmas song and they're easy to sing. Plus they make people happy so what's the problem?


4. You eat, breathe, and live peppermint.

Thankfully peppermint is the flavor of EVERYTHING during December.


5. Making a gingerbread house is an art and you suddenly become an employee for a cake decorating company.

You don't throw some icing on and call it "cute" and you definitely don't let you kids touch it. You spend two hours replicating the picture on the box exactly.


6. When someone says "But it's not even Thanksgiving yet" and you realize you have to remove them from you life.

Sorry mom and dad, that just wasn't the right move.


7. You are depressed the entire month of January.

There is nothing worse than packing up decorations and saying goodbye for another eleven months. It's probably the saddest thing since "Grey's Anatomy."

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.

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.
