The barista in your life is probably struggling to make ends meet. You've thought about getting them something to show your appreciation, but what will that be? These 11 options are some of the best things to get your local barista this holiday season.

A comfy outfit for the days they don't have to work. 

They can't wear leggings at work, but they sure will any other moment!

A milk steamer

This way, they can make their favorite latte at home without having to go back to work.

A new coffee mug

They might have 15 already, but they definitely want more, especially if they're funny or personally meaningful.

A gift box full of their favorite treats, coffee, etc.

Everyone loves opening a big box with lots of little things inside!

A gift card to their coffee place of choice. 

They spend so much money there already. It'd be nice to not spend your paycheck where you get it from.

Some way to make coffee

If you're really going big, you can shoot for an espresso machine. If not, french presses can be really great as well.

Relaxation gift basket

Some face masks, bubble bath, and fuzzy socks would be a great way to relax after a day of hearing caffeine-hungry customers yell.

A gas card

Anyone can use this, barista or not.

Again, A COFFEE SHOP GIFT CARD. 

Starbucks is always a good choice.

Every barista has a collection, don't let them lie to you.

A nice dinner for a job well done. 

As it gets colder, your local barista needs more and more daily support to deal with their customer's screams all day.

Whether you choose to get these gifts or not, find some way to make your local barista just a little more relaxed this holiday season.

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.
