The Start Of Fall Means It's Officially The Holiday Season

You know you have something you're waiting for during holiday season.

Who else has walked into the store and noticed decorations for Halloween 3 months in advance? And then in a couple weeks and there are decorations for Thanksgiving before Halloween has even passed! Crazy right? Yes, yet I can't help but to love it.

There's a sense of good feeling whenever holiday season rolls around, it must be something in the crisp air. It all starts in August when you're anticipating it all to begin. Whether you're waiting for your pumpkin spiced lattes to grace Starbucks' menu once again or for candy corn to decorate the candy shelves at your local store, you've got something you're waiting for during holiday season.

Most importantly, you can't deny how good it feels when the cold weather finally hits and you can snuggle up in an oversized sweater with a big blanket drinking your favorite hot drink. Did I mention fuzzy socks? That's as good as it gets.

I'd be dumb not to mention all the holiday movies on Freeform (RIP ABC Family). Hours and hours of time are devoted to Halloweentown all the way down to Elf. Yes, watched in no other way than fuzzy socks and a cozy blanket.

Can't you just picture it now? The Christmas lights lighting up the houses on your street, the happy Santa greeters at grocery stores, the little ones talking about their Christmas lists, the endless baking of sweets for holiday parties, and best of all, decorating the Christmas tree.

Whether you're a spooky Halloween lover or an inner elf on the shelf for Christmas, appreciate the holiday season people, cause it only comes once a year.. unfortunately.

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.
