SUgar cookies, one of the most traditional holiday cookies, are great for decorating and can be personalized to match any occasion. In my quest for the perfect sugar cookie, I have encountered many recipes that were just loaded with sugar, up to three cups in some cases. I know, it's a sugar cookie it's supposed to be sugary, but sometimes too much sugar can cause the sweetness to be overbearing or even cause a grainy texture.

One year I came across the perfect compromise that had the perfect ratio of sugar to the recipe, making it sweet but not overbearing. The recipe I found was for Italian sugar cookies and it has been my go-to sugar cookie ever since. This sugar cookie is easy to make and can even be rolled out to make cut-out cookies making it a perfect holiday treat.

2. The perfect peanut butter cookie.

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. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
