St. Patrick's Day is one holiday that's celebrated both for its Irish history and for people's love of drinking. Beer and Irish whiskey are sought out high and low, and the colors green and gold are proudly displayed everywhere you look.

With this lucky holiday quickly approaching, here is a list of celebratory events that will be taking place in San Marcos and the surrounding areas this coming week:

Sean Patrick's Block Party

Being the best-known Irish pub in San Marcos, Sean P's hosts a St. Patrick's Day party every year. Parts of the street are blocked off, and the celebration is complete with games, prizes, beer and food specials. This is the perfect place to find some green beer if you're staying in San Marcos on Thursday.

St. Patrick's Day Austin Block Party

If you're feeling a little more adventurous and want to get out of town for the day/evening, Austin hosts one of the biggest St. Patrick's Day block parties. Fourth St. gets completely shut down for the event, and festivities start as early as 6:00 a.m. "Party Packs" are available for purchase, including tickets and beer. Get all of the details here.

Drink.Well. — North Loop

Start your lucky day at Drink.Well. where a hot Irish breakfast with Irish coffees will be served this St. Patrick's Day. The breakfast includes two fried eggs, two bacon strips, whiskey-braised beans, choice of beef or chicken sausage, grilled tomato and toast - all for $10. The featured coffee is Casa Brasil coffee, priced at $7 each.

Banger's Sausage House and Beer Garden — Rainey St.

Banger's will be hosting an Irish celebration with an Austin twist - complete with a traditional Irish roast with potatoes and cabbage, beer specials, and music. Flashpoint Irish Band and a 15-piece Austin-Irish band will both be performing. Aside from their holiday specials, Banger's offers a twist on a variety of sausages, over 100 beers on tap, and a large dog-friendly area.

St. Patrick's Day Festival — Celtic Cultural Center

If you really want to celebrate like a true Irishman, hit up this authentic St. Patrick's Day festival. This is the largest Central Texas festival that features food, live music, and traditional Irish dancing. This festival is focused on the true culture of the Irish, so don't expect to see any green beer or leprechauns. Food will include fish 'n' chips, Shepherd's pie, and corned beef and cabbage. Guinness, Smithwicks and Harp will be available on tap. For all event details and prices, visit the Celtic Cultural Center's official site.

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.
