This quick and easy peppermint bark recipe only requires 5 ingredients!

- 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate

-2 teaspoons canola oil

-1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

-8 ounces white chocolate

-25 crushed peppermint candies

Line a 9x9 inch pan with waxed paper and set aside

Put a double boiler over barely simmering water and place the semisweet chocolate and one teaspoon of canola oil in the top of it. Stir frequently and scrape down the sides with a spatula. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract when the chocolate is melted. Pour the melted chocolate into the prepared pan, and spread evenly on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle half of the crushed peppermints over the crushed layer. Refrigerate for one hour.

Place the white chocolate over a double boiler over barely simmering water, stirring frequently like before. Stir in the remaining extract when the peppermint is melted. Pour the white chocolate over the previous chocolate layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining peppermint over top and press in. Refrigerate until hardened.

Mini Strawberry Santas

These little Strawberry are adorable AND easy to make!

-1 pint fresh strawberries

-1 cup heavy whipping cream

-1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar

-1 tablespoon chocolate sprinkles

Cut the strawberries so they can stand on a plate. Slice the tip off of each strawberry to make a little "hat", and set aside.

Beat cream and confectioner's sugar in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift beaker or whisk straight up and the whipped cream will form in soft mounds.

Spoon a large amount of whipped cream on top of a strawberry base for the face and beard. Set the hat on top of the face. Using a toothpick, add a dot of whipped cream on top of the hat to create a pom-pom, and two dots on the base to make buttons. Place two sprinkles for eyes.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
