Winter break is a glorious time to be able to come home, unwind, and relax. For some people that is exactly how it goes, and for some others not so much. So here's your winter break described as GIFS.

1. Catching up all the missed Zzz's

Hopefully, that's all you did for winter break! But knowing how things don't go as planned, you were probably doing the next one all break

2. Running countless amounts of errands for your parents


While helping your parents is great and I am sure they appreciate it, you would probably rather be binge-watching Netflix.

3. Watching the ball drop


She went in with full excitement of hoping how your year will go, but then when it fails she makes the best of it! Maybe we should all go in with this mindset for the rest of the upcoming year!

4. Catching up with friends at home


Is there really any better feeling than that moment when you see all your besties together after such a long time!? Don't fight me on this, I know there isn't a better feeling!

5. Finally packing to go back to college


Being ever so eager to leave your hometown and trying to jam every possible thing in your car!

I'm sure your winter break didn't go as expected, but hopefully, you were still able to make the most of it and appreciate the time you had off. Always remember that even when things don't go as planned to appreciate the time you have with others. And to try and find the good in everything, even when it seems like you can't.

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.

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.
