The holidays are a wonderful time of year, filled with chaos, the sound of savings accounts emptying, and the occasional sobbing session. These things simply skip hand in hand with the literal joys of the season. However, the most stressful part of this time of year is without a doubt the infamous gift exchange.

We all experience the panic-stricken thought process of: "What does Brian want his year? What should I give to Aunt Susie? Grandpa Max will smother me in my sleep with a dirty pillow case if I give him another pair of Rudolph underwear". You want every gift to be perfect BUT original (and maybe slightly weird), because who wants to be boring, right? Where's the fun in that?

Here are some gift ideas that will be sure to make quite the impact this holiday season:

1. Vladamir Putin Scratching Post


Yes. It is exactly what it looks like. A scratching post made to look like a Russian dictator.

2. Potty Putter


We all know that one person who is ALWAYS in the bathroom. Give them a game to play while sitting on their porcelain throne. How incredibly thoughtful of you.

3. Portable Breathalyzer


Nothing says "I saw this and thought of you" quite like a portable breathalyzer. Holiday day drinking now made easy! Prepare the Mad Elf Ale, Grandma!

4. Personalized Face Lollipop


Now your favorite person can suck on a life-size lollipop of their own face! What a genius idea! Nothing like sucking on my own forehead to get me into the holiday festivities!

5. Six-Pack Beer Belt

It's a college kid's dream in fashionable camouflage colors, a beer fanny pack! A great way to pick up the ladies, or gents.

6. Chainmail Shoes


Who needs Jordans when you could get these bad boys fresh from the local blacksmith?

7. Face Candles


A gift of a melting human face without the legal complications!

8. Doll Head Plant Markers


Nothing like baby doll heads to make them say "Awe, I love it! This is just what I asked for!"

9. Rhino/Zebra Hoof Boots


For a small investment of $625.70, you could make someones whole year with this staple wardrobe piece.

10. Condom Corsage


Great for any formal event! Be the life of a party AND a lifesaver if someone forgets protection!

Pick and choose your favorite, you can't possibly go wrong.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. 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?
