Finals are over and it's time to just relax and enjoy.

You have to do all that Christmas shopping sooner or later. It's always fun to find the perfect present for your friends and family and while you're at it get yourself something cute too for all those holiday parties coming up.

2. Buy Yourself Some Ice Cream

Ummmm... yes, please! If you're like me and just had the most stressful time of your life during this finals week then ice cream can make it all better. You can even go with your friends and it can be a little celebration for being done with this school for this year.

3. Give yourself a day to just lounge around

Chances are you've been busy all quarter/semester and the days of sleeping in have become rarer and rarer so give yourself a day where you can wake up as late as you want. Maybe watch Netflix movies and have a cozy day.

4. Have a movie night

Imagine this; your cuddled up in blankets and watching movies all night with some hot chocolate on your night stand. I mean come on, can it get any better?

5. Go on a weekend-trip

It's time to spend some time with people and explore new places. So, plan a trip with your family or friends to somewhere new and exciting. Make new memories and unwind from all the stress of the school year.

Have a self-care day

Bubble baths, face masks, and candles. Yes, yes, and yes. It's relaxing and is the perfect #treatyoself moment.

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.

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.
