A College Senior's Christmas List

The Christmas of your Senior year in college is basically your last shot at your family buying you a sh*t ton. As Seniors, though, we are planning our lives post-grad. This is the gateway to the big leagues, and this is the last chance to attempt to get other people to buy you what you need.

Practicality is key.

1. Money

Obvi, the most important. This leads to the most freedom and best chance of being able to buy what you actually need and not another stocking stuffer.

2. Left-overs to take back to school

The longer you can go without eating in the caf or cooking for yourself, the better.

3. Wool Socks

It's the small things.

4. A nice planner

A gift that'll help you maybe get your life together.

5. Gift Cards

Kind of like Money, but your relatives feel less guilty giving it to you. It'll make them feel like they put thought into your gift, but you still get what you want.

6. Sweaters to last a lifetime

Good sweaters are too expensive but paramount to a happy adult life.

7. Cotton Underwear

Honestly, just like the wool socks, it's the small things.

8. Quality Rain boots

Wellies can be super expensive, but a good pair can last a lifetime. A gift that will keep on giving.

9. Money

10. Alcohol

dRelatives know the good stuff and maybe can show you something better than Natty.

11. Netflix, HBO Go, HULU passwords

Bonus points if you just write the passwords on the card holding the money. Honestly, they don't need to even buy you your own account. Just let you use theirs.

12. A NICE winter jacket

No more “drunk jackets” that can just be left at a frat house, I am stocking up for a real life with hopefully enough money for coat checks at the club.

13. Starbucks gift cards

I won't feel so guilty for buying expensive coffee if it’s basically free

14. Money

"Got money on the mind, and my mind on the money"

So quick share your list with your fam, so they don't continue to think you're a child and buy you something silly.

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.

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.
