Those Who Make Our Thanksgiving Break So Looked Forward To

Time for a well-deserved break, reuniting with those you missed and with those who you don't necessarily miss. Although it sounds horrible, you know it's true; whether it be those you went to high school with or your family members that will attack you about your future, you know that there's someone you don't particularly look forward to seeing.

Your best friends come back from school, the excitement is indescribable. Seeing some of them for the first time since Columbus Day doesn't seem too long ago; for me, it feels like it's been a different lifetime. Laughing, reminiscing and filling each other in on the newest drama and news is the highlight of our break. Though we've been away from each other for so long, it's like we never left.

Going to parties with friends we graduated with is bittersweet. We haven't had seen them since August, some since graduation so that reunion is always a blast. We don't realize how much these people influenced you while growing up, and when you're back home...it immediately hits you.

Thanksgiving break sometimes feels like a tease. Professors end your last class before break with "have a nice thanksgiving break;" in reality I'll be in the library Friday-Sunday doing work. Finals are just around the corner so that means you're in the homestretch to an even longer break and reunion with your friends! A whole entire month of freedom, fun and more catching up.

This semester flew by, but at the same time, can it hurry up for three more weeks? I'm exhausted, my brain is fried, and I'm ready for a well-deserved break where school isn't a thought or a concern.

Thanksgiving is so nice and so looked forward to. It goes by quickly but it is so enjoyed.

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.
