'Tis the season of giving - more like 'tis the season of stressing what to give people as gifts. There is so much pressure of giving a gift that is able to show someone how much you love, understand, and know them. I get so wrapped up (pun intended) in gift giving and getting a material item that shows how much I love the people in my life, that sometimes I forget to just verbalize how much I love them. It's kind of silly once you think about it, that getting the perfect gift would mean more than just communicating how much that person means to you. I would remember someone making me feel appreciated, even if their gift was "average" a lot more fondly than I would someone getting me the perfect gift. So here are some phrases you can say to the people you love this holiday, whether you're giving a gift to them, receiving one, or just being around them this holiday season.

1. I really appreciate you and all you do for me.

2. I love spending time with you.

3. I don't get to see you as often as I would like to but I really enjoy our time together.

4. I can always be myself around you.

5. I'm very thankful I have you in my life.

6. Thank you for spending time with me, I really enjoy being with you.

7. You know me so well.

8. Thank you for always making me feel special and loved.

9. Thank you for including me in your holiday festitives, it's been great!

10. Thank you for always making me feel comfortable.

11. You always make me feel safe.

12. I love you

At the end of the day, just tell the people you love how much they mean to you.

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.

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.
