No matter how old I become, Christmas always has a special place in my heart. Christmas means more to me than what I can put into words!

1. Christmas means snow

What's Christmas without some snow? Being from Wisconsin, there's nothing quite like a white Christmas.

2. Christmas means mistletoe

If you're lucky enough to have that one special someone, pucker up! (As cliché as it is...)

3. Christmas means family

My personal favorite part of the holidays is getting to spend time with my family. No matter how busy we all are, Christmas is one of the few days of the year we all come together and celebrate.

4. Christmas means giving

While many people associate Christmas with receiving presents, it truly is the season of giving.

5. Christmas means joy

As well as it being the most wonderful time of the year, it is also the happiest!

6. Christmas means Jesus

Let's not forget the reason for the season.

7. Christmas means lights

There's not a prettier sight to see than houses with beautiful, sparkling lights hung up, reflecting onto the snow.

8. Christmas means movies

There's countless wonderful Christmas movies out there, from classics like "It's A Wonderful Life" to newer movies like "Elf."

9. Christmas means cookies

With tons of different Christmas cookies out there, Christmas can be the most delicious time of the year, too!

10. Christmas means relaxation

Finally, the time of year when it's acceptable to simply put on a pair of fuzzy socks, grab a mug of hot cocoa, and snuggle up next to the fireplace. Enjoy it.


Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
