The holiday season is truly the most wonderful time of the year! It is so cozy to look outside your window and see snowflakes falling, christmas lights glowing and just having the Christmas spirit in the air. Just because you are in college doesn't mean you can't go all out with Christmas decorations. Walking by the dorms at college, I have become inspired with so many winter-wonderland dorm decorating ideas! Here are just a few of the endless Christmas dorm decorating possibilities:

1. Wrap the door with festive wrapping paper. This will show people that even from the outside, your dorm is full of Christmas spirit.

2. Get a mini tree with lights for the window. Pine trees in your house is a signature Christmas decoration. So why not bring a tree to your home away from home?

3. Hang colorful or white lights on the window.

4. Listen to Christmas music with friends.

5. Hang stockings on the door. Hopefully Santa will visit!!

6. On a quiet day, cut out some snowflakes with friends. It is a great way to laugh over the failed snowflakes, but eventually end up with some beautiful results!

7. Bring Christmas themed pillows. A stuffed Santa or red, blue and green pillows for your bed or desk chair will add a lot of Christmas cheer.

8. Advent calendars. Don't pass up those childhood memories and bring an advent calendar to count down the days until Christmas!

9. Go out an buy gingerbread house kits and spend a day with friends decorating your gingerbread houses and eating lots of candy!

10. Break out the old Christmas movie classics and cuddle up with a warm cup of hot chocolate. There is no better way to spend a snowy winter day than with hot chocolate and a Christmas movie. There is always one on TV during this time of the year, so there is never a need to rent one.

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:

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.
