Christmas is right around the corner and if your family is like mine, it's sure to be a weekend filled with big family gatherings where you are grilled about your love life and deprived of alcohol. And who better to encompass what Christmas with the family is like than Nick Miller.

1. When you first walk into the house to see all of your family members and the evening flashes before your eyes.

It's going to be a long night.

2. When your mom sees your face and tells you to be friendly.

Friendly is not a word in my vocabulary.

3. When you see a family member coming over to talk to you so you have to psych yourself up.

Here we go.

4. When the first question you get asked is if you've found a boyfriend yet.

The answer hasn't changed.

5. When the family starts talking politics at dinner.

Make that 12 alcohols.

6. When dinner is over but you realize you still have to spend about five more hours here.

WHEN WILL IT END?

7. When your grandmother starts asking you incredibly personal questions.

Please don't ask me about my sex life grandma.

8. When your incredibly successful cousin starts talking about how much money they have.

*Has $2 in bank account.*

9. When you're saying goodbye and your family starts telling you that they love you and will miss you.

Ew.

10. When you finally get home and realize you survived and that your family really isn't that bad.

There's truly nothing like family during the holidays.

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.
