As all book lovers know, there is nothing better than receiving a bookish gift. Finding ways to make the stories we love come to life is the best way to a bibliophile's heart, so whether you're buying for yourself or trying to find the perfect gift for your favorite bookworm, here are 13 gifts sure to please any reader.

1. A subscription box

Literary subscription boxes are so much fun. They deliver new reading material, fun fandom items, candles, food, and jewelry each month. A few standout book-related boxes are OwlCrate and The Book(ish) Box.

2. Fandom gear

Redbubble has all your fandom needs covered. They've got everything from throw pillows to stickers and feature artists who design things like these "Harry Potter" and "Game of Thrones" items.

3. Bookstore Gift Cards

We always need new reading material, and there is no safer gift than credit at a local bookstore.

4. Jewelry

Etsy jewelry, like the "Pride and Prejudice" and "Hunger Games" necklaces above, is the perfect way to bring a little bit of someone's favorite story or character into their everyday life.

5. Candles

Whether you want your room to smell like a library or you're dying to bring part of your favorite fictional bae to life, a literary candle will meet all your needs.

6. Special Edition Books

The ideal gift for book collectors.

7. Art Prints

Excellent for capturing a favorite quote or scene and preserving it forever.

8. Themed Tea

Reading takes a lot of time, so these themed teas will come in super handy when that mid-book snack break hits.

9. Notebooks

A great way to encourage your book lover to get creative themselves.

10. Book themed games

Not only will avid readers completely dominate literary games, they provide a prime opportunity for everyone to get involved with the stories loved by so many.

11. Bookends

Bookends will come in extremely handy for anyone with a perpetually overflowing bookshelf.

12. Bookmarks

No one will ever have to dog-ear pages again with a collection of awesome bookmarks.

13. Literary Cookbooks

Food is a critical part of any good story and the chance to eat what is featured within a person's favorite book's pages will thrill them to no end.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
