10 Gifts All College Students Appreciate Getting for Christmas

BGSU / Instagram

Once you are in college you are considered an adult, even though it really doesn't feel like you are one. Knowing what to get adults for Christmas can be tricky. Even making a Christmas list in college can be hard. You ask yourself, "What do I really want?" This can make it super hard for whoever is buying you gifts to well, buy you gifts.

Heres 10 things all or most college students appreciate getting in their stocking.

1. Earbuds

Earbuds are essential for any college student. How else are you going to make sure nobody talks to you when you're walking to your 8 a.m.? In all seriousness, I lose earbuds like it is nobody's business and I know for a fact you can never have too many pairs.

2. Phone chargers

While I don't lose my phone chargers I definitely go through them pretty fast. The worst part about it is not having any money to buy a new charger so you are stuck with the crappy chargers from Five Below. Do your college student a favor and buy them a phone charger or two.

3. A nice, reliable portable charger

Along with regular phone chargers, portable chargers are essential as well. You really can't go wrong with buying someone a nice quality portable charger.

4. Gas cards

This is a no brainer. What driving person does not want a gas card? How doesn't like free gas?

5. Gift cards

This is also a no-brainer. Gift cards for just about anything is awesome. I'd definitely suggest getting college students gift cards to places like Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. They will appreciate it even if they aren't an avid coffee drinker.

6. K-Cups for their Keurig

You're not allowed to have a coffee put in your dorm so many students opt for a Keurig. However, K-Cups for Keurigs are super duper expensive. Trust me, someone who is constantly making coffee with their Keurig will love a

7. Stainless steel travel mug

When you need to have coffee in the morning you can not go wrong with having an endless amount of travel mugs.

8. Apartment decor

College students' dorms and apartments are known for lacking decorations and being pretty darn ugly. Get them some apartment decor that is made of nothing that will break.

9. A nice wallet

Being in college means that unfortunately, you'll be a real adult soon. Which means they'll need more adult-like looking items that they don't want to pay for. Everyone can use a nice quality, adult-looking wallet.

10. Gloves, hats, scarves etc.

If the college student you are buying for goes to school somewhere cold buy them these winter essentials. If you live in a dorm it is super easy to constantly be losing stuff and you can seriously never have too many pairs of gloves or hats.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
