Top 5 Things College Students Will Need This Christmas

Christmas can be hard to shop for considering everyone wants or needs different things, while the buyer still needs to consider their budget. What is a good medium to make everybody happy?

1. Gas Money/ Gas Card

It is not uncommon to have cars on campus, but it is hard to keep up the bill of gas if you are unemployed such as myself. Gas money will be something that anybody but especially broke, college kids will use often.


2. Gift Card to Their Favorite Clothing Store

While many students cannot just go home to switch out their wardrobe for the upcoming season, buying new clothes can help that problem while also being fun! Gift cards are said to be a boring gift, but honestly one of my favorite considering it gives me the option to purchase the exact thing I want. Consider the store's price range and accommodate a good gift card amount that will work for the student and your budget.


3. Winter Accessories

In the city around my school, it can get very cold and extremely windy. I did not come to school prepared with enough winter clothes, so expanding this part of my wardrobe with gloves, another jacket, thermal leggings, fuzzy socks, or scarves would be ideal. Walking to classes in the freezing cold would be a lot less painful with these items in my closet.

4. Apparel from Their School

Who doesn't love getting new apparel with their school name written on it? There are also sales that happen around the time for Christmas in bookstores!


5. One Year Worth Of Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime is a lot more helpful to college students than people can see. Almost anything can be ordered off of Amazon including textbooks, clothes, electronics, or gifts for others. It costs $99 for one year and gives the student access to PrimePantry, streaming tv shows and movies, free day shipping, and smaller perks.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

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.
