What I Will Miss Most About College Over Winter Break

As break is almost upon us, everyone is becoming more and more excited to be done with finals and classes for the semester and have a much-deserved break from school work and stress. While I am looking forward to not having class, there is one thing that I will miss the most about going home for the holidays: my college friends.

Over the past few months, you start to grow accustomed to spending most of the day with your friends and doing anything and everything together; from going to get meals to taking random road trips together, my college friends make it worth all of the stress over classes and homework.

Being able to go up or down the stairs at any time and know that I will be able to see at least one of my friends is so comforting. Whether its to simply just hang out or order an obscene amount of pizza and watch movies until 2 AM, this is something that I'll really miss when I'm back home.

Whenever we hang out together, everything is more fun. From making fun of the strange people we see at the dining hall to attempting to do the condom challenge for the 50th time, there's never a dull moment when we're together.

Simply sitting together and laughing about anything and everything and sharing stories of our days is something that I look forward to each day. Not being able to have friends almost constantly by my side to talk to and laugh with will be hard to get used to for the next month, but it just makes the spring semester something to look forward to even more.

Our adventures, laughs, and memories have made this semester one that I will remember for a long time to come. Thank you for having my back no matter what and loving me for all of my flaws: my crazy personality, my annoying habits, and my little quirks that you have all come to know and deal with over the past few months.

Thank you for your support and love that you have given me. Thank you for giving me wonderful memories that I will never forget. Our friendship means more to me than you will ever know, and I'm so thankful to have you all in my life. Though winter break will be difficult without you by my side, it'll go by faster than we are willing to admit.

I already can't wait to make more memories with you next semester.

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.
