The Importance of the Christmas List

Although the one thing on our lists should be a COVID 19 vaccine, this will do.

The Importance of the Christmas List

Around this time every year, our friends and family will begin to ask us what we want for Christmas. Despite constantly wanting new things since December 26th of the prior year, our minds will go blank. Thats where the Christmas List comes into play. We've been doing it since we can remember, except now instead of using construction paper and crayons with an address to the north pole we send our moms a link. I honestly sort of forgot about Christmas presents this year with everything occurring, but I noticed some Christmas List Tiktoks and thought that was a great idea. You should definitely look at those for inspiration and see something you might not know that you wanted.

There's nothing worse than not knowing what you want and ending up with a random wristlet on Christmas morning. It is a waste of money for the gift-giver and a waste of space and an object full of guilt for the receiver. Although sometimes it may seem odd to ask for a certain thing, in the long-run it ends up making more sense for you and the giver. Although if all else fails- cash is always a good option.

Ideas- I've decided to include some brands or things that I think would be a great addition to any Christmas List, or make good gifts for others!!

Madhappy: With the country about to go into another lockdown, I think everyone could use some cool loungewear! All of their products are so cute and fun, liked by celebrities and all!

AirPod Pros: I recently lost my case, so I've had to live a week without them, and I genuinely don't know how I lived before them. The best headphones and perfect for any zoom call.

Olive & June: As an avid nail salon customer, I was very sad at the beginning of Quarantine when I could no longer get a manicure. I received the Olive & June manicure set and genuinely have not gotten a manicure since. This box is amazing and I just saw that they now make a pedicure set as well!

Knitwear: Basically, everyone is wearing some sort of knitwear right now.

Celebrity Prayer Candle: Nothing better to keep cozy with than the warm glow of Harry Styles or Timothee Chalamet on a large cylinder candle.

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.

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.
