Family gatherings can be weird. Especially if you to make the voyage to a distant relative's house where you see family whom you forgot existed. And no matter how much you pray that there is love, laughter, and a really funny game of Dirty Santa, it rarely ends up like that. Your great aunt that you were sure died four years ago will always pop up, and your cousin will make it his goal to embarrass you the whole time. Here is your Leslie Knope Guide to Awkward Holiday Conversations.

1. "Wow, you look just like your mother! So cute."


2. "You look like you're enjoying your long weekend."


3. "How is life going for you?"


7. "So where is your boyfriend?"


8. "I'm sure you love your new big-girl job!"


9. "Sweetie, you're too young to have knee problems."


10. When you've been there longer than 15 minutes...

11. To your sister: "Honey, can you help me out in the kitchen?"


12. "Is she your special friend?"


13. When you've had two too many glasses of wine.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

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.
