5 Thoughts You Have Now That Christmas Is Over
https://picjumbo.com/ready-to-christmas-baking/

Christmas is a time of celebration and coming together with the people you love. Now that the day is behind us, it is time to think about what is next and to reflect on the previous days. Here are 5 thoughts you may have in the days following Christmas:

"I wonder when I will see them next"

Giphy

Christmas is a time to see people you don't see very often. Outside of the holidays, you may not see these people for months or even a year. It all depends on the family and the individual.

"Time to lose that weight"

Giphy

People always joke that they need to go to the gym after Christmas from eating all of that food. All the delicious food at Christmas might have put on a few pounds.

"There's only 52 weeks until next Christmas"

Giphy

The countdown has begun. We only have a year until next Christmas. Is it too late to start planning now?

"Time to go back to work"

Giphy

Most people have off Christmas (in reality everyone should but that is another story) and have to return to work the next day. Now that the holiday is over, it is time to resume your day-to-day activities. On the bright side, New Year's is only one week again.

"Time to return those unwanted gifts"

Giphy

Christmas brings presents, good and bad. Some people like to return gifts they know they will not use. After Christmas shopping is almost as busy as before Christmas.

Christmas is over but the fun does not have to end. Prepare for the new year and think ahead to 2020.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
