As the semester is winding down I have been thinking a lot lately about the things that I miss at home, I have had a fabulous fall semester but I am also super glad that winter break is just around the corner. So as I have been thinking about going home for the holidays I have compiled a top 6 list of the things I can't wait for when I go home after finals.

1. To spend time with my family.

This semester has been quite different for me than previous semesters. This time I got an on campus job that has required I stay at school most every weekend to work. Not that I am complaining at all because I love staying here on the weekends now that I am used to it but coming from a girl who went home every weekend its been a huge adjustment. So I just keeping thinking about being able to go home and spend more than 2 nights in my house.

2. MY FRIENDS

I miss them so dearly when I am at school. Don't get me wrong I am super blessed that a bunch of my friends came to the same school as me but at the same time there are a couple of them that are still 3 hours away and I miss them dearly.

3. My hometown

I never in my life thought I would miss anything about the teeny-tiny little town I grew up in but I have really started to miss the town, the people and just the atmosphere there.

4. My hometown work family

At home I work at a dental office that I miss terribly. The people I work with are more like family than just regular people. I miss being able to go and tell them all about my life and them give me the best advice and laugh at how funny my young life is.

5. The Mexican food

Don't get me wrong Richmond has some pretty great food but none of it in my opinion will ever compare to the Mexican food my hometown has to offer. Or maybe its just because they know my order when I walk in the door.

6. My parents

I would normally never ever admit this to them but I do miss them really bad when I am at school, not that I can't go without seeing them for a few weeks or anything like that but they are really my best friends and I miss them laughing at me for all the silly things I do at home or watching movies with them on the weekends. So yes, at this time in the semester I am the girl who can't wait to get home to spend time with her parents and I am no way ashamed of that, I'm actually thankful.

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.
