5 Under $26 Gifts For Your Roommate

Now that Black Friday has passed, it is officially time to start (if you haven't already) your holiday shopping. The problem? Some of us are graced with the college student budget, which means that we don't have a ton of money to spend on presents. I have compiled a list of five gifts under $25 that any roommate, no matter her style or personality, would love to receive this holiday season.

Bite Beauty, The Perfect Bite Set from Sephora ($25)

This gift set is perfect for the lipstick lover in your apartment. With four creamy lipsticks that range from nude to pink and brown, your roommate is bound to love all of the shades included in this kit. A bonus: they taste like citrus!

Victoria's Secret PINK, Thermal Sleep Short ($22.95)

These sleep shorts have gained popularity on Twitter. Who doesn't want cute and cozy PJs? With different colors and designs with the famous PINK logo in silver glitter on the band, there is at least one that will jump out at you to get for your roomie. Pair it with a pair of fuzzy socks and you will get the "Best Roommate Ever" award.

Sugar Paper Blush Weekly Planner Agenda, 2017 from Target ($10.99)

Not only is this gift cute, but it is practical! Every college student knows that if you don't write down when assignments are due, most likely they will be forgotten about. Not only does this planner have monthly calendars inside, but it also has weekly calendars to write down what needs to be done down to the minute. Your roommate will love you because not only is this blush pink with gold details adorable, but she won't have to go out and buy herself a planner for the upcoming semester.

Plum & Bow Elephant Tea Mug from Urban Outfitters ($16)

Not only this is the most endearing mug ever, there is a little compartment to place a tea bag after your roomie brews her favorite tea. It is also dishwasher safe, so she can just throw it in with the other dishes and won't have to waste precious time washing it by hand.

Cup O' Coffee Face and Body Mask from Lush ($10.95-$19.95)

Everyone knows that coffee is the lifeline in college. Not only does this mask smell just like her typical morning cup of joe, it will scrub away any dry skin and make her skin glow naturally. It also cleanses impurities from the pores and is great to use for any skin type. She will thank you later.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
