The holidays are a time where people from near and far gather in one place to catch up and celebrate. With this comes the issues of traveling, so here are a few tips for you if you are one of those travelers this season!

Pack for all kinds of weather.

You never really know what you're going to run into, so if you're driving make sure you have extra coats and layers in case of a break down. If you're flying make sure you pack as much as possible to stay comfy and safe during your travels!

Make a plan.

Having a planned itinerary for your trip will make it go much smoother. While being spontaneous can be fun, with a plan it is easier to move around mishaps and issues.

Pack early.

Pack your suitcase and bags early, that way you know you have everything and you aren't running around last minute trying to get it all together. It never fails that last minute packing always results in forgetting something.


Confirm reservations.

No one wants to show up for their relaxing weekend away and find out that they really don't have that room or flight booked that they thought they did. Avoid this by confirming with your hotel and tickets that you are set and ready to go!

Have a check-list.

Be sure to make a list of everything that needs done before you leave, as well as when you return. That way you don't forget to have the post office hold the mail, or turn off the water. And you also don't forget to get the dog when you get back!

Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Enjoy your break, your time away and relax. Appreciate the company of those around you and remember how blessed you are to have them and the opportunities you do.

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.
