The Perks Of Being Home

Home is where the heart is.

The Perks Of Being Home
Paige Lunde

Everybody knows that "home is where the heart is" and the saying couldn't be truer. Especially around the holiday season. For most, it means seeing family members that they haven't for weeks and getting presents and all that. For college students, it means sleep and food. (Free food, might I add) It means being able to stay up late with no consequences and being able to eat something other than ramen noodles or the mysterious meat that the cafeteria offers on Thursday nights.

Being home means being able to relax without the overwhelming stress of homework and future tests (even if the future semester may be looming over our heads, the thought doesn't last long). It means not only seeing our relatives (that we end up avoiding and hiding from after the third day of break) but seeing our pets and just being able to lay around with them and do nothing. Being home means the TV remote can be yours and you don't have to worry about going to the bathroom because you can do so in peace (because there's only one toilet at home so go as long as you need, just please remember to flush, for the rest of our sake).

Being home means a lot more than most of us actually vocalize and to be honest, we probably wouldn't want to be anywhere else because at the end of the day, home is truly where the heart is (and where the wifi connects) and it's where we all know we have a place to land if we have nowhere else to go.

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.

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.
