The holidays can be such a fun time of year, one centered around family and loved ones. Everyone who celebrates does so slightly differently, so learning about your significant other's traditions can be a lot of fun. Introducing each other to the many things you love about the season is so important, not to mention fun.

But why not also make some new traditions together? Here are 9 Christmas traditions you and bae can consider starting together:

1. Make a gingerbread house. 

Or a gingerbread village. Or ugly Christmas sweater cookies.

2. Watch all the Christmas classics and bake cookies. 

Christmas pjs would be a great addition too!

3. Go see local Christmas lights. 

Some neighborhoods get really into the Christmas season - look around your city or town!

4. Gift an ornament each year. 

You're collection will gradually grow!

5. Visit Christmas Town or a Christmas Marketplace. 

There is always so much to look at! And you can find some awesome gifts along the way.

6. Write Christmas Eve notes of gratitude. 

Exchange notes to each other on Christmas Eve detailing your love for one another, your favorite memories from the last couple months, etc.

7. Gift at least one sentimental, homemade gift. 

It can be anything! Some of my favorites are "Open When..." letters or a deck of cards that have one thing you love about your S.O. on each card.

8. Fill a stocking for each other. 

Stockings are one of my favorite parts of Christmas so it's something we always incorporate!

9. Reflect on the previous year, and set goals for the following. 

The new year is coming up!

What traditions do you and your significant other like incorporating into your holiday season?

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.
