For a college student, Christmas shopping isn't super high up on the list of priorities, but as the school year winds down and finals week comes to an end, the realization hits that you have not gotten a single present for anyone in your family. Basically, you go into panic mode and start freaking out 'cause surprise, Christmas is coming up and it is coming up fast.

1.You just finished you last final and you could not be more excited to turn of your 8 A.M. alarm and sleep in.


2.The first weekend that you're home and you are crazy excited to just kick your feet up and not have a care in the world.


3. In the middle of your relaxing when you realize that you've done absolutely zero Christmas shopping for your family and Christmas is a week away.

4. Speeding to the mall with everyone else who's doing last-minute Christmas shopping.


5.Then hitting insane traffic that surrounds all malls in the weeks leading up to Christmas and the road rage hits an all time high.

6. Dealing with all the other shoppers in the chaos that are last-minute Christmas shopping.


7. Getting home after somehow successfully getting gifts for everyone that you need and feeling way prouder than you should.


8. Struggling to wrap all the presents and you have no clue how your mom even makes all the presents look good.


9. Waking up Christmas morning and being overcome by the childlike joy when you rip into your presents.

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.
