Christmas is just around the corner, it's less than a week away! It's that time of year where we get to dream of all the amazing presents we could get for the most important people in our lives. As a college student, there are many gifts we would've never imagined wanting as a child. Here are just a few gifts you might hear a college student ask for Christmas:


1. A free subscription to Netflix

What better way to procrastinate and distract yourself from school work than with a free subscription to Netflix.


2. Socks

Because, let's face it, you can never have enough socks. Especially when the school's machines always seem to eat them.


3. Free tuition

Free tuition just wouldn't be the perfect christmas gift, it would be a dream come true. Although, highly unlikely!


4. A high GPA

This is one of the most important thing to a college student and although this also something you can't really ask for it as a gift you can still hope; it'd be a great gift to yourself, though!


5. Gift cards

Not just any plain old gift cards but gift cards that will buy us food, preferably either to Chipotle or Cook Out.


6. Money

Just in case you didn't get enough gift cards.


7. Quiet neighbors

Whether you're in a dorm or an apartment there's always that one neighbor that doesn't understand the concept of being quiet.


8. An unlimited amount of coffee

Coffee is a college students favorite drug. You can't expect to get through classes without having to buy more coffee at least twice a week.


9. A puppy

Puppies are the perfect stress reliever and are instant best friends. A puppy would be perfect to have during finals week.

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.
