Christmas Hacks: How To Find The Best Deals

It’s that time of year again! Time for holiday music, eggnog, and…. shopping! Lots of it. Of course, Christmas isn’t all about the gifts. It’s about being home and spending time with your loved ones. But if you’re like me and are obsessed with the giving of christmas gifts, you’ve got to make sure you get something for everyone on your list. But that can add up quickly. And we’re at that awkward stage where we are old enough to be buying everyone our own gifts but too broke to do so. Not to worry, if you didn’t find all the deals you were looking for on Black Friday, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve for christmas savings.

Online shopping is the way to go. Saves the hassle of going out and it’s where all the best deals are hiding.

Download the app Wish

This app is filled with extremely cheap products for still more than decent quality. Order soon though as these items can take up to two weeks to be delivered. And that’s another great thing about it. The shipping is just as low priced at the items themselves. Sometimes as low as $1!

Check out Amazon

Duh. As students, we get amazon prime for free for 6 months. This is the perfect time of year to sign up for that. Order all your gifts prime and get them within two days.

Price match Amazon deals with eBay

eBay is usually hit or miss, but I’ve found some great deals on items on eBay for even cheaper than some amazon prices.

Check out woot.com

The deals are random so this is one to check back on regularly.

Last but not least – Groupon

Get your mom a nice massage deal, your boyfriend a nice surprise getaway, or your grandparent a family photo printed on a canvas.

Christmas shopping doesn’t have to break your bank. You can make it look like you spent a fortune on your family but still have enough money left to fill your gas tank to get home.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
