10 Things To Love About Winter Break

As finals week comes to an end, winter break is right at our fingertips. The thought of never leaving your bed, binge-watching Netflix, and sleeping all day brings way too much excitement to overworked college kids.

1. Sleep

Sleep, sleep, and more sleep. You have to make up the sleep somehow from all of those all nighters, right?

2. Friends

Being able to hangout and catch up with friends from home is a good refresher!

3. Netflix

"Bob's Burgers," "Undercover Boss," "Friends," "Breaking bad," etc.

4. Being in your own bed.

After sleeping on that college dorm bed for four months, being in your own bed is by far the best feeling....ever.

5. Mom's cooking

Eating home cooked meals after eating dining hall food is the best. Mom is always there to make you your favorite dish the first night back.

6. The comfort of your own bathroom.

The days of having to rush or feel like you're hogging up space are over! For the next four weeks at least.

7. Making money

Working on christmas break is always rewarding. You get to save up for next semester and get out of the house a little! Plus, tax season is right around the corner.

8. NO HOMEWORK, NO EXAMS!

Can I get a BOOYA?! Boooooo Ya.

9. The Holidays

The holidays are always a loving time of year that you get to spend with your friends and family. You get to eat all of those homemade pies and desserts, too! Oh, and new years? It's the best night of the year!

10. Lastly, being with family.

Being home for winter break is an awesome breather from school but spending time with family is the most important thing about winter break. After being gone for so many months it's good to be home and spend time with those who matter most.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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

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.
