A+ Christmas Gifts To Give When You're Broke
Humane Pursuits

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year-- twinkling lights, the smell of pine and bright decorations enlivening our neighborhoods. But maybe not so much when it comes to gift giving. As college students or teenagers we find ourselves looking for spare change in all of our jacket pockets and flipping our rooms upside down just to buy a bag of chips or a cup of coffee. So how are we supposed to buy Christmas gifts for all the people we love? If you have a job you might be able to earn some money and put it to the side, but saving has become an unbelievable task for many of us. But don't be down about this holiday season, because there are lots of things you can do or gifts you can give that are thoughtful and unique!

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.
