15 Gifts You Must Buy For Your Parents In 2018

So, normally your parents are scrambling around trying to find gifts for you. After all their hard work of trying to find you presents you need to thank them especially around the holidays when stores are packed and everyone is fighting for that last parking spot at the mall.

You don't have to go further than your computer and sign onto Amazon because let's face it, we don't want to be running around especially if your holiday break has just begun!

1. Alexa

Amazon

Sick of seeing everyone's Instagram captions saying "Alexa play ___ song," I know we all are! While our parents may not be very tech-savvy they will appreciate telling Alexa to add some items to the grocery list or set reminders for them while they are doing 6 other things in the house as well.

There are multiple colors to choose from as well!

2. Electronic picture frames

Amazon

Whether your parents will admit it over the phone while you are away at school or not, they miss you. The best present you can get them to remind them of all the fun times you have shared together is an electronic picture frame. My suggestion is to order it to somewhere you will be and open it and fill it with photos so then they will turn it on and it will already have your memories there!

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
