Buying Christmas gifts for my best friend for the past five years has definitely gotten a bit difficult. You'd think the longer you know someone the easier it is to shop for them, but in fact the longer I know someone, the more I critique every potential present. Nothing seems good enough or worthy to give. I am personally one to give gifts that not only meet their interests but that mean something and show I know who they are as a person. It can be hard to find items that are both sentimental and still something the gift receiver would really enjoy.

It's bound to be hard when you feel like you've already given your friends everything they would like during past holidays and birthdays. Here are ten convenient gift ideas that are easy for one to enjoy all while still having some meaningful value behind it all.

1. Fuzzy Blankets

These are extremely easy to use as room decor as well as a snuggle buddy when throwing on some movies.

2. Picture Frames

They are often sentimental and can be kept forever plus they are easy to decorate with.

3. Favorite Snacks and Drinks

It's quite simple and can really showcase how much you know about someone.

4. Gift cards

It may seem like you didn't put much thought into this kind of gift, but you are allowing the receiver to get exactly what they want and you're still having to know them enough to pick a place they would enjoy.

5. Candles

These can liven up any room and you're going to need to think of scents they would actually buy themselves.

6. Shoes

To buy one shoes, you would need to know their personality and focus on how they dress and what is worn the most.

7. Canvas Art

Who doesn't love to decorate with some art? You can surprise someone too with picking the perfect piece that matches who they are.

8. Mugs

They are so cute and easy to buy and you can personalize them to who you are getting them for.

9. Sweatshirts

This one is simple, who doesn't love sweatshirts to snuggle up in?

10. Sports/Concert Tickets

When COVID-19 is settled down, these are one of the best gifts to buy because you really need to know someone to pick what event they'd want to attend.

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.
