Things We Love About The Holidays
plusquotes

As the Holiday season is in full swing, there are so many things that each and everyone of us has to be thankful. Whether it's an education, family and friends, a job, or even your dog that you're a bit too attached to, everyone has his or her own things that bring them joy this time of year. Whether your Holiday break is close to a month, like most college students, or if it is only a long weekend, we all look forward to the Holidays every year for the happiness, food, and rest that it brings us. Here are some of the best things about the Holidays that never seem to change.

1. Literally having no work to get done.

One of the best and strangest parts about the Holidays is being a student and being in-between courses and having no responsibilities. Live it up, it won't last long.

2. Catching up with your high school friends.

There's nothing like catching up with hold high school friends to see who is one step closer to changing the World and who's one step closer to getting that Mrs. Degree.

3. Finally, it's socially acceptable to pull all-nighters binge watching your favorite Netflix shoes again.

Because at school, if you're not studying then you should be going out. Winter break is the perfect time to pull all-nighters watching mind-numbing TV.

4. Want to stay in your pajamas for 48-hours straight? As long as they are Holiday themed you are good to go.

Want to eat all the Holiday food in your pantry and not be judged for it? As long as you're wearing Holiday themed PJ's that's 100% socially acceptable.

5. The beautiful (and occasionally tacky) decorations.

We all have that one house in our neighborhoods that's so beautifully decorated. And then there's that one house with about 10 Nativity scenes, strobe flashing lights, a hologram Santa, and a fake Frosty the Snowman all on their front porch.

6. CHRISTMAS SONGS.

If you can sit here and say you don't smile a little bigger and sing a little louder when Frosty the Snowman comes on the radio for the first time during the Holidays, then you are lying.

7. Finally being able to sleep in your own bed, in the pitch black, and not feeling bad about all those accidental naps that are about to happen over break.

This one speaks for itself. Everyone is sleep deprived before the Holidays, but luckily, no one is judging you for that accidental 4-hour nap during the break.

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.

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.
