If you're looking for a stocking stuffer for a college student, look no further than these:

1. An iTunes gift card.

These are pretty easy to get, and they can get college kids more than you realize. When we need a new studying playlist or we need to buy a movie to watch one night when we don't feel like studying or doing homework, this gift will come in handy. Music when walking to class or working out is always a must, and this will be a game changer when a new album comes out on iTunes that everyone wants.

2. Food. Anything food.

Nonperishable food that we can take back to school and eat over the course of the semester is more valuable than you'd think. Having a set amount of meal swipes is one of the biggest struggles when it comes to college, and having little snacks to eat if we run out of meal swipes is one of the most important things to have in our dorm room. Don't underestimate food. It's important.

3. Wall adhesives and small decorations.

You can never have too many wall adhesives. Command hooks and sticky tack are holding up everything in my room, plus a few hooks and things. But wall adhesives are super important, and to go along with wall adhesives, little decorations to hang on these hooks are an important part of any dorm room. The decorations help make your dorm room unique to you, and they help make you feel comfortable.

4. Cozy, fuzzy socks.

Fuzzy socks are a must, especially during the end of the fall semester and in the beginning of the spring semester (that would be January). They give your feet and your toes a little blanket to feel warm and cozy in, and they make me really happy. For bonus points, get ones with crazy designs on them. We love them.

5. Money. Anything monetary.

Honestly, anything involving money is greatly appreciated. Our favorite places to get gift cards to usually include Wawa, Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and Amazon, but a plain Visa gift card will do just fine. The term "broke college kid" is real, I can tell you that. Any gift that we can get is great.

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.
