5 Things To Do Over Winter Break
Henry Miller Elementary School

Winter break is so refreshing after a semester of working so hard. It is a college student's time to catch up on some sleep, make some money, and take time to relax. Sometimes I feel like college kids do not know how to relax anymore, but we owe it to ourselves to do so. Here are 5 ideas to do over break to assure that it is everything we need to refresh ourselves.

1. RELAX!!

We do not get a lot of time anymore where we do not have many obligations. Take this time to catch up on some Netflix, sleep in, and do fun things!

2. Drive Around and Look At Christmas Lights

This is one of the best ways to get into the holiday spirit. Take a drive around local areas and see just how festive people are.

3. Go Ice Skating

This is a fun thing to do in the winter! I personally cannot skate to save my life, but it doesn't mean I can't try. In the end all I may be able to do is laugh at myself, but at least it was still fun.

4. Play with Your Dog in the Snow

Dogs love jumping through snow. Take the time to run in the snow with them and throw some snowballs for them to catch. Their puppy eyes will light up at the sight of a snowball!

5. Spend Time With Family

Family really makes the holidays special. Take time to catch up with loved ones and share a good meal or a nice cup of coffee. It will put such a big smile on your relatives faces, and that joy is rewarding.

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.

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.
