During the holiday season, it can be hard to find the perfect gift for everyone. "Overwhelming" is an understatement when trying to make sure friends, parents, long-lost relatives, and your significant other are all pleased by your presents. Everyone has a different process for buying their gifts...

Gives you exactly what you ask for

This is the best kind of giver because you know you’ll love your present- it is what you asked for and picked out. You might have a put on your fake "surprised" face, but there is no worrying about opening up an ugly sweater that is 3 sizes too big.

Gives you what THEY would like

We are all guilty of giving our friends something we like just so that we can borrow it in the future. We try to convince ourselves "if I love it, they must too!"

The re-gifter

Wait, didn’t I see you get that from grandma last year?

Adds their name to someone else's gift

When you wake up on Christmas eve and realize you forgot to get Aunt Susie a present, sometimes it’s easier to just add your name to the card on the box of chocolates your mom bought her.

The procrastinator

You're probably going to get money or gift-cards from this person. By the time they remembered to get a gift, all the stores were closed.

The homemade gift giver

You can always expect the latest DIY project or a batch of homemade cookies from this giver. While people typically tease them for not “spending enough money” on presents, we are all secretly envious of their talents and wish we had thought of such a meaningful gift.

So, what kind of giver are you this holiday season?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
