Whether it be for a Christmas party, a cookie swap, or a great pairing to the "A Christmas Story" marathon, these cookies are something that everyone needs to try this season. Here are a couple of recipes to spruce up the classic Christmas cookies brought to the table.

Sugar Cookie Trees

Use that family secret sugar cookie recipe and put your own spin onto it by placing frosting between each cookie, shaping it into little Christmas trees. By making slightly smaller ascending cookies and connecting them with green frosting and sprinkle ornaments, topped with a star, it is sure to appeal to even the Grinch himself.

Santa Coats

Melt tablespoons of butter with cherry jello mix until it dissolves, then combine with one package of marshmallows. Mix gooey result with rice krispies cereal and shape into squares. Decorate accordingly with frosting or melted chocolates.

Reindeer Cookies

This can be used with practically any favorite recipe just as an add on. By tossing on a couple of chocolate covered pretzels with some candies to decorate the face, you can turn any cookie into one of Santa's finest.

Melted Snowmen

THESE ARE THE CUTEST THINGS EVER. Throw some frosting on a gingerbread cookie to resemble the puddling of Frosty after spending too much time in the greenhouse. Cut a reese's mini in two to add as a hat and add some sprinkles for the face.

Christmas Light Cookies

Make full serving of sugar cookie dough and dye half red and other half green, leaving aside about a quarter cup of dough uncolored. Bake tear drop shaped cookies out of the colored dough, use egg white to attach smaller white dough pieces prior to baking. Decorate with candies and frosting :)

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.

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.
