When it comes to shopping for someone, it’s difficult. You’re not sure whether they’ll like the present you picked out or if it is within their taste range. Gift cards can sometimes work as a present, but not always. When it comes to present for someone who loves technology, well, that’s a completely different ballpark.

Technology tends to be expensive and there are new versions of the same products regularly. In this article, three different gifts you can get someone who is tech savvy that will hopefully not break your bank account.

Google Chromecast Audio

At just $25, the Chromecast Audio from Google is one of those pieces of technology that is fairly useful. You can connect this to a speaker and not have to worry about any type of wires connected to your phone. This connects to your Wi-Fi and it means that your phone’s battery won’t drain in the middle of your favorite song or audiobook.

Mophie External Battery

I’m not sure about you, but I’m constantly on my phone texting friends, checking Twitter or posting pictures to Instagram. That said, I’m not always home when my battery is at 10 percent, or anywhere with a wall plug. External batteries have been on the rise recently, since smartphones have become a thing of the present. Mophie has a range of external batteries ranging from $40 to $130, depending on the mAh of the external battery. They have cases for iPhones and Samsung phones.

Kindle e-reader

If you know of someone who loves to read, but doesn’t want to lug around the physical book, gifting them an e-reader is a great idea! Kindles are better known, sold by Amazon. E-books tend to be cheaper than actual physical copies of books, which is just one of many benefits. The starting price is around $80 and the price goes up from there.

Hopefully this helped, good luck on all of your holiday shopping!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
