We all know what the typical valentine's day gifts are: Chocolates, flowers, candy, blah blah blah. We know you love your significant other, so think outside of the box this Valentine's day by getting them something different!

1. Pay for a fancy dinner date night.

Have a great night dressing up and heading out on the town!

2. Craft them something.

Get creative and a little silly.

3. Get those concert tickets.

4. Pay for a day at the museum.

5. Go to sporting event and split the costs.

One person pays for the tickets, one person pays for the food, it all works out!

6. Go on a walk and/or picnic (if it's warm enough).

If you get a random warm(ish) day this might be a nice idea.

7. Cook a nice dinner and have a chill night in.

8. Bake them something Valentine's Day themed like cake pops or cupcakes.

Super easy and super sweet!

9. Make them a memento box.

Put together ticket stubs, movie stubs, maps, etc. for an amazing box filled with your greatest memories together.

10. Buy them a nice outfit

Get them something nice to wear to work or just out!

11. Buy matching mugs and matching shirts.

12. Get a picture frame and throw in your favorite picture of you two in there.

13. Get a personalized anything, beer glass, water bottle, whatever!

A great gift they'll be able to tell you put a ton of thought into.

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.
