It seemed like winter break would never, ever come, but congratulations! You've survived finals and can now relax for the next 2 weeks - month (I only have 2 weeks, kind of salty about it). Thanksgiving break is great, but it only gives you a taste of what you get to enjoy during winter break. You still have to return to school on the same class schedule, and worry about all the finals you didn't study for. Now, you're finally on a break with no school-related responsibilities. Check out the top 10 reasons (in no particular order) why winter break is the best!

1. No more shower shoes

2. No homework, tests, or papers to worry about

3. You finally have time to work more hours and make some cash

4. You get to see all your friends from home

5. No more 8 ams to wake up for

6. Your meal plan includes home-cooked meals

7. You get to hang out with your pet

8. You no longer have to feel guilty for binge-watching Netflix

9. No more finals to worry about

10. You get to spend the holidays with your loved ones

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.

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.
