5 Christmas Gifts ideas for 2016
Sarah McKalip

So you don't know what to get everyone for Christmas this year. Your budget is tight and you're at a loss for ideas. This list is something that I have come up with to help those who are stumped with gift giving ideas this Christmas. For me, gifts don't have to be expensive to make me happy. Homemade gifts are special, but even if they're not homemade, a personal touch before you give them away can make them just as special.

Christmas is my favorite time of year. God's joy is present everywhere, and love and joy are in the air. So, if you don't know what to give the special people in your life, this list may give you an idea of where to start! Merry Christmas to you!

1.) A Frame with your favorite photos

This gift can be very inexpensive, but also very meaningful. If it's for someone you have a lot of pictures with, you can pick your favorites and place them in the frame. They have frames at Target and Walmart with twenty spots to put pictures. It's a very thoughtful gift to give this Christmas.

2.) A jar of memories

You can get a mason jar at Walmart and find different things to decorate them with. Then you can fill the jar with different memories you've shared together or just little encouraging notes that they can read throughout the year. Fill it with 365 notes so they have one for each day of the next year.

3.) A book

In my opinion, books aren't a common thing to give anymore. I like giving books because you can leave personal notes on the inside cover, and you get to specifically pick out something they would like to read. It's a very meaningful thing to give!

4.) Stationary

I would personally love to get a stationary for Christmas. I feel like writing letters is something we should bring back. Even if you're not writing a letter to anyone specifically, they're beautiful to write on.

5. Candles

I love getting candles, and candle warmers too. They make the whole room smell good and they last for a long time. While it may seem like a common thing to give, many people actually enjoy receiving candles.

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.

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.
