If you're like me, you definitely forgot about Mother's Day. Don't fret! Here are some quick and easy gifts you can make or buy the day before or day of.

A Spa Day Gift Card

What does your mom deserve more than having the chance to relax? Literally nothing. Many spas have various day packages that you can choose from, and they don't always have to break the bank. By getting your mother a spa day, she'll have a chance to unwind and get away from the stress of being the best mom ever.

Manicure/Pedicure in a Jar

Get a jar. Get some nail polish. Get some lotion. Get a wine cooler. Put them all together and create an at-home nail station.

DIY Picture frame

Find a nice picture frame at Walmart and buy some decorations. You can paint it, put on some glitter, find some stickers, or decorate it another way. If you want to spend time together, buy two and make time to complete them.

A Succulent

These are great because they do not require much care but can bring so much joy and comfort to space. Any plants make great decorations, and you can customize the pot to make it personal!

A Playlist

Whether it includes her favorite songs or just songs that make you think of her, creating a playlist is a great way to show that you know her taste and want to connect with her.

Movie or Concert Tickets

Mom's don't just have to be celebrated on Mother's Day! Get her tickets to something local that she would enjoy. If you can, get yourself a ticket to and go with her, or just buy an extra one so she can bring a friend.

A Gift Card

This may seem generic, but sometimes gift cards are the best! If your mom is someone who already has everything, getting them a gift card to a place you know they love is super helpful! This way she can get what she wants, when she wants it, no matter when it is.

Your Art

If you love to create, make something unique for her! Even if you're not that good at art, she's your mom so she'll probably love it anyway. Or, you could dig up some old art you made from preschool and frame it, so she has it in a special place.

Go and Visit

If you live far enough a way that you don't see your mother all that often, take some time out this weekend and go see her! She works hard to give you love and cherish you, the least you could do is take the time to visit.

Flowers

This is a gift that you can do online on the day of. Flowers are often delivered right to someone's doorstep, or you can deliver them yourself. It's a good reminder that you are thinking of her, and will make a beautiful decoration for her home.

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.
