5 Tech-y Christmas Gifts For Anyone And Everyone
Amazon

Christmas is coming soon. Very soon. 41 days away, actually. Every year, people are faced with the frustration of someone on their list they just don't now how to buy for. Trying to balance what a friend or family member needs with what they want can be difficult, not to mention staying in your own budget and within the times constraints your busy schedule sets. While you are doing your own shopping, your friends and family are probably asking you, "What do YOU want for Christmas?" This question might be as hard to answer for yourself as it is for others. Oftentimes, our lists are much barer than our families prefer.

Whether it's for your family and friends' lists or your own, here's seven techy gifts that would put serious smiles on faces.

1. HP Sprocket

This super-handy printer is run by Bluetooth, so it can go anywhere without cords. It uses a special paper, that when the back is removed, can stick to any surface for easy decorating with your photos. The Sprocket's coolest feature, however, is likely the printer's ability to sync with your social media apps, printing photos directly from them, even if the photos aren't on your phone's camera roll. $130, Best Buy

2. ZoomZam Bluetooth Speaker

This speaker is made of leather, wood, and metal, which makes it work with a wide variety of decor. It's small, so it's very portable. While it comes with an auxiliary cord, it works with any device that is Bluetooth-enabled. Functionality and style points, too. $32.99, Amazon

3. Crosley CR8005D-BK Cruiser Deluxe

For the vintage lover in your life, try this multi-faceted record player. Not only does it allow you to listen to your favorite vinyls, it has an audio jack and Bluetooth capabilities for endless music. The best thing about this system is it comes in lots of colors, and even a Mickey Mouse option- groovy! $78.25, Amazon

4. Amazon Echo Dot

This any-home friendly device uses Bluetooth, has wi-fi capability to connect to your mobile devices and accounts, like Amazon for shopping, Uber to help you catch a ride, or Dominos to order your pizza. It's like an in-home assistant that anyone could find a use for. $49.99, Amazon

5. Ring Doorbell

This handy-dandy device works with any door, whether you have a doorbell or not. It works with your smartphone to alert you when someone is at your door and allows you to video chat with your visitors right from your phone. This would make a great gift for people that travel often, or just spend time away from home. $199, Ring.com

Finding the perfect gift is never easy, but as the technology market becomes more saturated, anyone can be a techie, and a stylish one at that.

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.

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.
