Let’s be honest, as a college student, gone are the days where you enjoy putting together long Christmas lists for family members who are looking for any clue as to what to get you. In fact, how often do you find yourself simply asking for money for the holidays? I get it. I’ve been there! So the question is what to do with that extra money accrued over the holiday season?

As the fall semester continues to push forward, there is little doubt that everyone’s minds are shifting towards the holidays. Before you know it, Christmas will be here! Crazy, right? However, before we get to Christmas there another date that is becoming increasingly important and, for the purpose of this blog, I’m not talking about Thanksgiving. It’s Black Friday.

Halloween is finally upon us! For most college students, this surely means either attending or hosting a costume party at some point this weekend. And while attending a party can be a fun and exciting time; being the host of the party can add a quite a bit of stress to the festivities.

School’s been back in session for nearly a month and there’s no doubt that between studying and trying to maintain some semblance of a social life, it can become really difficult to find time to do much of anything during the school year!
