The 10 Worst Things About Coming Back To College After Thanksgiving

We all know the feeling of sitting through that last class before you sprint back to your car or to the bus so you can go home for Thanksgiving, but what we try not to think about is the horrendous trip back to school after you're full on turkey.

Here are the top 10 worst things about coming back to school:

1. Say goodbye to home-cooked meals, say hello to the dining hall!

I hope you stocked up on leftovers from home, because you're going back to the same meals you've been eating for the past three months.

2. For most of us, welcome back to your smaller, more uncomfortable bed

Hello, back pain.

3. Roommates.

I hope they don't snore.

4. Set that alarm clock for those morning classes

Rise and shine, people. Rise and shine.

5. I had homework over vacation... sh*t.

Remember that pile that you kind of just put in the corner of your room and pretended to forget about? Yeah, that's all due tomorrow

6. Having to say goodbye to your family, including your furry friends.

Make that last hug tight

7. Don't forget to throw on those flip flops before you shower!

No more showering like a normal, clean human being! Time to put shoes on in the shower.

8. I hope you had fun not working, because your job starts up again Monday night.

Ah, yes. Back to that job that makes takeout possible but also is annoying and boring.

9. You wanted to sleep tonight? Oh, I'm sorry. Your neighbors invited everyone they know over.

No matter how many times you bang on the wall to ask them to shut up, it probably won't work.

10. Oh, yeah. Finals are in two weeks.

Get your study on girlfriend, its go-time.

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.
