10 Useful Things to Buy With Your Christmas Money

Christmas is a holiday of giving and receiving, and for most of us college kids that means receiving a variety of gift cards and some cash. We also know it is one of our few chances to actually go shopping before we return to scrounging around for change in our cars and eating pasta every night. Here's to spending our money the right way!

1. A Selfie LED light iPhone case



Essential for taking amazing selfies at all times!

2. Bath bombs from Lush



Stock up on stress reliever before it gets too late into the semester.

3. An agenda



It's a new year and that means that you probably realized that this is the year you need to get your life together. Make it a little easier by buying a nice planner that you will actually write in.

4. An aux cord for your car



With things like Spotify, Soundcloud and Apple Music, who wants to listen to the radio anymore? Get an aux cord and your friends will always love being in your car.

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.

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.
