College Life In November As Told By "Peanuts"
The Huffington Post

Halloween is over and Thanksgiving isn't quite here yet. It's an uneventful week and you can't escape that "I got a rock" feeling for the time being.


You thought your school work would disappear after midterms week, but instead it has multiplied every week since and it's really bringing you down.


Your roommates consider you MIA because you don't have time, energy, or both to participate in roomie hang outs. When you do come out of hiding, your attention is given sparingly due to incessant typing on your laptop in an effort to multitask.


Your answer to every "How are you?" "What's up?" greeting is the same. The person asking probably catches you while you're thinking about all of the work you need to do and when you'll actually get around to doing it. Or about all of the money you don't have. Usually both.


Then you remember a break is coming up – a break involving more food than you can even dream of eating during the weeks you spend at school deprived of a substantial diet.


Nothing will stand in between you and getting home as soon as possible after your last class ends.


Thanksgiving day will be a time for celebration with family and friends.


...but soon after you'll be forced to go back to school for finals.


And then you'll remember December brings the Christmas season!

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. 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.
