Sometimes during the holidays we struggle on what to get people as a gift.

We get frustrated because the holidays are fast approaching and we still haven't finished shopping. Here are a few ideas when you're really stuck on getting a gift for someone.

1. Candles

Yes, these can be slightly basic and unoriginal as gifts, but for moms, aunts or grandmas, this will certainly make them happy. Who doesn't like candles?

2. Grocery gift certificate

If you have a college student in your life that you're gift shopping for, they will certainly appreciate this.

3. Coffee mug or thermos

For anyone who likes hot drinks, this is a great idea. They can use this everyday and will think of you when they do.

4. Jewelry

A cute necklace or bracelet is a great idea for a friend or family member.

5. Slippers

This is a great idea and you could even do a cute little combination gift with slippers, nail polish and nails files. This is guaranteed to be good for someone who likes to pamper themselves.

6. S'well Water Bottle

These are pretty popular right now and also super cute. This is great for someone who wants to stay in trend

7. Virtual reality headsets

These are really popping up everywhere right now and are also really cool. Depending on where you buy it, the price really ranges. Guaranteed to give anyone a good laugh.

8. Bath bombs

Anyone who enjoys baths will enjoy it a lot more with a nice bath bomb. Not only are they super unique looking when dropped in water, but they also leave your skin feeling extra soft.

9. Winter hat or baseball bat

No matter who you're shopping for, this is a great go to idea. People will definitely use and appreciate this gift.

10. Pajama set

Whether it be a set or even just pajama bottoms, someone will be wearing them and really admire them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
