7 Things I'm Looking Forward To For Christmas Break

As I approach dead week and finals week here at the lovely University of Kentucky, there are certain things that are fueling me, motivating me to finish this semester strong. I am stressed out more than I have ever been throughout all my college career and I am losing the motivation to even care about school at this point. I have been stressed out over minimal things that seem deceivingly important at the time, but from a long-term perspective, they really don't matter all that much. Perhaps there are more people out there in the world that feels the same that I do, in that case, I am not alone in this endless void.

This is a list of things that are keeping me motivated for the break coming up.

1. God! God is always my #1

cross

God loves us so much and because He loves us so much, He deserves all of our praise and all our love.

1. My family! Mi familia!

family

Sometimes I get tired of them, but my family is by my side no matter what. They will be the ones cheering for me at my graduation and at my future wedding.

3. Good food!

eating

This will be me during the break!

4. Good sleep!

sleeping

This dude is tired! This semester has wore me out. College consumes a lot of my energy. I'm going to sleep in late all break and periodically take naps.

5. HARRY POTTER MARATHON!!!!!

I am going to have a Harry Potter marathon, because I like Harry Potter and I am still waiting on my Hogwarts acceptance letter.

6. Doing a little drinkin' !!!!

drink

I usually have a little wine, a little Jack Pepper (bourbon and Dr. Pepper), maybe a little beer. There is nothing like chilling with a drink in your hand.

7. DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!

sweatpants

No lie, I have been wearing sweatpants every day since it got cold here in Lexington. I will continue to wear sweatpants worn until term resumes. Why? They are comfy as a baby's blanket.


Anyways, this is my list. I am sure everybody's lists are different and similar to mine, but press on! Break will be here before you know it!

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.
