With the stay-at-home orders due to the COVID-19 outbreak in March of this year, I find tons of folks (family, friends, and celebrities alike) used this time to...well, make babies. CONGRATS to you all!! Many will find themselves welcoming their bundles of joy during this current holiday season, or early next year. So, here's a list of names I think are perfect for all the impeding Christmas/New Year babies out there. <3

1. Estelle 

It literally means "Star." It's perfect when you think about the Bethlehem Star leading the wise men to the baby Jesus on the very first Christmas!

2. Noëlle

It's derived from the French name, Noel, which translates to "Christmas."

3. Meri

This is a cute, modern play on the name of Jesus Christ's mother, Mary.

4. Angelo

It's a variation of "Angel." Very Biblical and fitting for the true reason of the season, don't you think?

5. Claus

Santa Claus is perhaps the largest symbol of the holidays, so it might be the perfect name for a little one arriving near the 25th.

6. Gabriel

Gabriel was one of God's Archangels in the Bible., and it would be a nice name for your little angel here on earth. :)

7. Dorothy

8. Snowden

It's practically a more *festive* version of Aiden - you gotta love it.

9. Laurel

Wreaths made of Laurel leaves are an old Greek tradition used to indicate wealth, success, and honor. This would be a great name to celebrate a *successful* delivery, right?

10. Charlotte

Eh, not sure if it has any *Christmas* connections per se, but it still has a festive ring to it!

11. Eira

This cute, festive name (pronounced EYE-ra) means "snow" in Welsh. What's not to love?

12. Garland

Yes, this is the name for Christmas decor. But hear me out. Judy GARLAND. Isn't that a cute name? Sure it's a last name, but it would be just as cute as a middle name, too.

13. Icelyn

Icelyn is a Jamaican name and means "gift of God." Babies certainly are the best gift a person can receive, so it's super adorable for your new bundle of joy!

14. Lucia

This name is inspired by the Christian martyr, St. Lucia. This name is unique and super cute for all the baby girls born during the holiday season. Plus, it adds a great flair to more traditional names like Lucy or Lucille.

15. Clark 

Clark just sound *Christmassey* to me!

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
