10 Ways To Bring Christmas Spirit To Your Dorm
https://newyorksightseeingtours.wordpress.com
It's the most wonderful time of the year! December is here, the Christmas music has begun playing and candy cane flavored everything is hitting the shelves. Just because you're in college doesn't mean you have to miss out on all the festivities leading up to Christmas. Here are some fun ways you and your friends can bring the Christmas joy right to your dorm room!


1. Decorate your door.


There are plenty of ways to decorate your door, like wrapping it completely in wrapping paper or putting Christmas themed stickers and bows on it. Not only will you have the best door on your floor but you also bring Christmas joy to the hallways.


2. Make homemade Christmas decorations.


It's a great bonding experience and you can get creative. You can go simple and create things like paper snowflakes and cut out snowmen or you can go all out and decorate your own wreath to hang up in your dorm.


3. Get a mini Christmas tree for your dorm.

Of course you have to check with your school's rules to see if it's allowed first. If you're in the clear there are tons of places you can go and get mini trees, real or fake. After you find a nice spot for your tree in your dorm, decorate and light it up!


4. Christmas lights.


Let there be light! You can never have too many Christmas lights. To be safe use command strips or any other form of decoration hanging that isn't going to damage your walls so you don't get in trouble or fined. And for your safety and everyone else's make sure you unplug all the lights whenever the room is going to be empty.


5. Decorate gingerbread houses.


Stores like Target and Walmart sell inexpensive gingerbread house kits. You and your friends can get together and see who can create the best one.


6. Organize a Secret Santa.

To do secret Santa you get all your friends who are interested together. You set a price range and an exchange day for the gifts. Everyone writes their name and puts it into a hat, then everyone picks out a name. You buy a gift for whoever you get and on exchange day everyone finds out who their secret Santa was and walks away with a gift!


7. Christmas movie marathons.


Networks like Freeform love to do Christmas movie countdowns. Each day they play a different selection of Christmas movies to get people excited for the holidays. Check your tv guide and see when your favorite movies are coming on, get some snacks and hot chocolate, get cozy and enjoy the movies with your friends.


8. College Christmas cards.


Christmas cards with your friends are so fun and my favorite thing to do during the holiday season. Make or find a nice backdrop then snap a fun picture of you and your friends donning your best Christmas apparel. It’s a great memory to have and something super cute to show your family while you’re on Winter break.


9. Bake Christmas themed goods.


You can find inexpensive Christmas themed cookie cutters in the shapes on sites like Amazon or Michaels. They have many different shapes to choose from like Gingerbread men, Christmas trees and snowmen. Once you have your goods baked you can decorate them icing and little candy like M&Ms.


10. Go caroling around your hall/campus.


Last but not least who doesn’t LOVE Christmas music! Get a group of friends together and go around belting out your favorite Christmas songs around hall or campus. It’s fun to do and you get to spread the Christmas cheer to others

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.
