The 11 Stages Of Winter Break At Home

FINALLY

After experiencing two winter breaks, I've noticed a trend...


Stages 1: We out.

Finals have sucked the life out of you and you just want to LEAVE.

Stage 2: Hibernation mode.

NO alarms allowed.

Stage 3: Netflix.

Hours and hours of guilt-free binge-watching. YES.

Stage 4: Time to PARTAYY.

With holiday spirits high and New Year's Eve right around the corner, there's nothing holding me back.

Stage 5: Eating home-cooked meals.

I have endured my own cooking far too long.

Stage 6: Reunions with high school friends.

You realize how civil everyone has become.

Stage 7: BOREDOM.

You've watched everything on Netflix and nobody seems to be free.

Stage 8: Reflection.

Break is almost over, and the impending semester is slowly becoming a reality. It's time to think about all the mistakes you've made, all the lessons you've learned, and all the resolutions that will be broken (just kidding, I believe in you).

Stage 9: Exhaustion.

The post-celebration slump when you've used up all your energy, and also realized being home means having to put up with your parents' nagging (but they love you and you'll eventually miss that during school).

Stage 10: Appointments galore.

It's more convenient back home...and I have SO much time.

Stage 11: Kinda missing school.

Yeah, it's been a while since I've been a productive human being and I miss my friends at school.

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.

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.
