So you've probably clicked on this article because you're a guy looking to buy a nice Christmas present for the girl in your life, obviously. She may be a girlfriend, just a friend, or maybe even a neighbor but you're totally clueless on where to start and that's OK. This article will help you out on giving you ideas on what to get her for Christmas.

As a college student, you probably don't have a lot of money so I will start listing your options from cheapest to most expensive. That way you don't have to sort away from the most expensive things you obviously can't afford.

1. Servant For A Day

This is a great idea because every girl would love an extra hand around campus once in a while. Ideas can include to carry her books or do her laundry while she can focus on studying for her exams. Maybe do small things such as bring her an umbrella if it unexpectedly rains or bring her a snack to class if she's hungry.

2. Artwork

We're not all artistic but maybe try creating a Christmas card with a few little drawings. You can try to create something bigger than that but be aware of your own ability. But in the end at least you tried and that counts!

3. Ornament

Similar to the artwork thing but ornaments can literally be painted with one color and then wrote on with Sharpie!

4. Candy

7-11, Family Dollar, and Walmart can be the hookup when it comes to big bags of cheap candy. Especially after Halloween, candy can go on sale and can come in cute Christmas packaging that you can give.

5. Meal

A homemade meal that's nice and warm to come home to would be a tasty treat for her. If you're not really a big chef, maybe you can take her to a sit-down restaurant or even to a somewhat nice fast-food joint if she's craving salty food.

6. Accessories

Diamonds are a girl's best friend but on a college budget let's be a little more realistic. Chain stores like Claire's or Icing can give good quality pieces like earrings and necklaces at a more reasonable price that you can give.

7. Makeup

Makeup isn't the cheapest thing ever especially when some of the most popular palettes are over $40. However, large general retailers such as Target and Walmart offer more inexpensive brand options. If you don't know about the quality of buying complicated things like eyeshadow, contour kits, and other things you don't know about, you can always just buy things such as brushes and sponges that can assist with makeup.

These are just a few gift ideas you can use to give to the girl in your life. I know its hard to set aside money when you can barely afford food besides Ramen, but some girls are worth it! Happy Holidays!

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.
