Okay, so now that Thanksgiving is over, we can all relax, right? Well, I had a full holiday with tons of food, drinks and debates. I was a Black Friday worker this year and also an insomniac. I think what can be said is that we all have stories to share about our recent holiday traditions, so here's a few tips on how to survive the holidays with your family.


1. Don't talk about relationships

I have a boyfriend of almost two years, so I don't exactly have to worry about them picking on me about when I am going to get a boyfriend and who it's gonna be. Not exactly a hot topic in my family, but he's grown to be just as much a part of my family as I am of his.


2. Don't ask WHEN certain people are going to get in relationships

Nothing worse than when your aunt asks you where your boyfriend is and where to find him


3. Don't talk about grades

Well, it's close to finals and the last thing we want to think and talk about is what is happening in our classes


4. Don't talk about the election

We all have different views on how it turned out, but what really grinds my gears is when someone constantly relates everything back to how something turned out


5. Keep small talk between each other

Realizing that some people will ask you about many things but keep in mind, it's only small talk and you get to talk about the things YOU care about


p.s. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND GOOD LUCK!!

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:

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.
