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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential.

And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
