12 Days Of Christmas For A College Student
Huffington Post

On the first day of Christmas my college gave to me:

Twelve boxes of tissues

12 boxes of tissues for all the tears that will be shed during finals week.


Eleven boxes of Ramen

I don’t each very much Ramen, but it is an extremely quick, easy, and delicious meal that us college students seem to love.


Ten puppies

Puppies honestly make everything better honestly… especially during finals week.


Nine more days to procrastinate studying

I have to admit that I fall into the trap of procrastination quite often, especially during the end of the semester. But what’s a few more day of procrastinating? *cough cough* I mean studying…definitely studying.


Eight feet of snow

This is extremely unrealistic if you go to school in the south like me, but a girl could only dream.


Seven cups of Starbucks coffee

I love Starbucks, but I am more of a tea drinker than coffee. But, if they were giving me free coffee, hell yeah I would drink it.


Six pairs of sweatpants

I’m more of a leggings type of girl, but when it comes to lounging around and studying, I love sweatpants. You can never have too many pairs.


Five hundred dollars

Who doesn’t need money? Going to college is expensive! From textbooks to food to that jacket that you really wanted but didn’t really need, who wouldn’t love $500?


Four handles of anything

Vodka, Whiskey, or Tequila: anything to soothe the pain of finals week.


Three opportunities for extra credit

You know how sometimes you end up falling behind in a class and just wish for some extra credit? Nothing would beat having multiple extra credit opportunities to boost that C to a B.


Two hours of peace and quiet in my room

Sometimes it is so nice to just be able to lay down with no distractions or worries. Two hours will never be enough, but it would surely help.


One email saying there is no final exam

This is possibly one of the best emails you will ever receive. Whether they tell you in the beginning of the semester or closer to the end, nothing can beat that feeling.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all, goodnight.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
