Holiday shopping made easy!

1. Money

Even if you're not a broke college kid, I think we could all appreciate some extra spending money. A lot of us are not used to being on our own without having our parents money. I try to save as much as possible from what I make from my job, but I would still agree that I am a very broke college kid.

2. Target gift card

Let's be real, who doesn't love Target? They have absolutely everything, so it's always my go-to store when I need something.

3. Phone Wallets

You can spot most college kids with a phone pocket on the back of their phone to hold their credit cards and I.D. These things are usually made very cheaply, and I've already gone through 4 this year. They're not very expensive which makes them easy to stock up on.

4. Adult coloring books

Coloring is super stress relieving and finishing a coloring page is one of the most satisfying things. Adult coloring books usually include several different designs which make it even more fun. These books typically run pretty cheap and are great for sharing.

5. Box fan

The temperature in a dorm room can change daily. Some days my dorm feels hot, and other days it's the tundra. A box fan or any fan at all can make a significant difference.

6. Toaster

The closest thing I have to a toaster is the oven on the floor above me. You might not think you would need or even want a toaster but having bread, bagels, or waffles in the pantry and not being able to toast them is a struggle.

7. Water filter

Depending on the person, some people may not mind drinking directly out of the sink but for those who do, having a water filter is the best.

8. Uber gift cardsĀ 

Uber can be very convenient but also very expensive. Uber make after a night out, it's used to go grocery shopping or to get to the airport. An uber gift card is a convenient gift.

Consider these eight gifts while thinking about what to get a college student this Christmas.

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.
