A Very Kardashian Khristmas

These are a few of my favorite things.

The holidays are upon us and it's all around us. You know what else is all around us? The Kardashian family. While admiring my small, pink Christmas tree, I turned my head and saw my copy of Kris Jenner's cookbook sitting on my kitchen counter and thought to myself, "How would the Kar-Jenners react to Christmas?"

When Halloween is over and Christmas is in full swing.

Time to break out the decorations and some hot chocolate!

But someone says "But Thanksgiving's first."

Christmas is not a day, it's a lifestyle. I can celebrate Thanksgiving while being in the Christmas spirit, thank you very much.

When it's after Thanksgiving and people still criticize your Christmas spirit.

Check the attitude at the door.

When the decorations are up.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Realizing that you still have tons of work to do for the end of the semester.

Christmas is a reward after getting through finals.

When you finally get to fly home.

Three weeks of no responsibilities!

When you get to see your parents for the first time in months.

I miss them so much.

Baking Christmas cookies.

My mom makes Vienna crescents and they are the bomb dot com.

When Polar Express is on.

He heard the bell ring, but all I heard were my sobs.

When you can't afford to buy Christmas presents for people.

I don't think the Kardashians have this issue though, honestly.

Picking out that perfect Christmas outfit.

Should I go with a festive ugly Christmas sweater or a nice green or red sweater?

Eating Christmas dinner.

The only thing better than those Vienna crescent cookies is my mom's chicken parm that she makes every year on Christmas Eve.

When the whole family gets together.

But that's what makes them so fun, right?

And it's time to take that family photo.

Gotta look fab.

When you go to Christmas mass.

After all, it is a religious holiday.

When your family wakes you up at the butt-crack of dawn to open gifts.

They're not going anywhere.

Unwrapping that present that you really wanted.

Awwwwww. You shouldn't have!

When you get those Christmas tunes playing.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Carol of the Bells" is such a jam.

And the Christmas party is lit.

I'm sure they're jamming to Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Carol of the Bells" too.

And when you're just spreading the spirit.

Thanks, Mason. Hope you do too!

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
