10 Gifts For The College Senior Graduating During A Global Pandemic

COVID-19 has changed a lot of things for just about everyone, especially the 2020 graduates. Many of them were looking forward to walking across the stage to get their diploma, but now that may not happen for the majority of them due to people having to social distance. This is extremely hard on them, as it is frustrating not being able to celebrate your accomplishments the way you thought that you would be able to. That doesn't mean that you don't have to celebrate them though, in fact it should make you want to give them something a little more special! That being said, here are 10 gifts for the college senior graduating during the pandemic.

1. A custom pillow

My college sells pillows that are pretty pricy but they are super cute and they have a map of the school with little pictures of all the things that make up NC State. Many other colleges have these and you can find them online if they are not in stores!

This is a cute moment that they can always keep with them and is sure to make a college graduate happy every time they look at it.

2. A scrapbook

A scrap book is probably one of the most personal things that you can give a college graduate as it will be filled with all their memories from their time at school. Even if you are not very crafty this can be an easy and relatively cheap option if you already have some of the supplies.

3. A subscription

Coming out of college is hard financially on most graduates so the little things like Netflix and Amazon Prime can start to add up. If you want to get them a gift that they really will use if you pay for a subscription for them they are sure to appreciate it a lot. There are tons of options from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, and so many more!

4. Nice jewelry or a watch

A special piece of jewelry, such as a necklace can be a great gift for college graduates as it will have meaning behind it and it is something they can wear often. Or for the men a nice watch is a good idea, as it will have the same purpose and can be used daily.

5. Headphones

Airpods

College graduates are like the rest of this generation and love to listen to music. So if they don't have a nicer pair of earphones or headphones that can be a nice investment you could make for them. Air Pods are very in right now but Beats are also great!

6. Luggage

Chances are that your college graduate will be going somewhere in the future, whether they are moving for a job, graduate school, or just a trip, a new set of luggage is an under-rated gift! Luggage is essential but most people don't want to spend money on a nice set for themselves, but if you get them a set that you know is their style they are sure to get good use out of it.

7. Home appliances

This one may not seem like the most exciting, but if your college graduate is living on their own it can be quite expensive to afford all the necessary appliances. So if you noticed that they are missing something like a blender, iron, toaster, coffee maker, or something else then getting that for them is a great idea! It is practical but also will mean a lot.

8. Money

You can never go wrong with money!

It may not be the most sentimental of gifts, but it helps a lot. Especially for graduating seniors because they have student loans to pay off, graduate school to pay for sometimes, and everything else that comes with growing up. So a little bit of cash can go a long way in helping them out during these trying times.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
