Christmas season is always difficult, especially when it comes to buying gifts. To add insult to injury, some people have been in your life for so long, you feel you've exhausted every possible gift option. And, if you're anything like me, you probably don't have all the time in the world to walk through fifteen malls just to find the perfect present. So here is a short guide on ways to do your Christmas shopping via the internet, and how to hopefully find a gift for that person on your list who is impossible to buy for.

1. Buzzfeed's Buy Me That

Not only does Buzzfeed do gift guides, but each of their product lists fall under a specific category, and all of the products have links to where you can buy them online. On top of that, there is a daily "Best Deals on the Internet Today" list, if you're looking to save some money on some nice gifts.

2. RedBubble

If you know what your person likes, but you feel all the gifts you find in stores are not unique enough, try RedBubble. The site offers a multitude of ways to get artists' prints in personalized ways, such as t-shirts, throw pillows, or stickers. Everything is fairly priced and always high quality.

3. Etsy

If you're looking for something ultra special and unique, try Etsy! There's nothing like a handmade gift from someone trying to run their own business. A lot of times, you can work with Etsy artists to personalize designs, and there's a good chance you'll find something there for the person you're buying for.

4. Uncommon Goods

This site has quite a variety of things, so if the person you're buying for has unique taste, try starting here!

5. Make Something Yourself

I know it seems weird to suggest a handmade gift, but sometimes those are the best. You can try arm knitting a scarf in 30 minutes or making a memory book for the special person in your life. A gift with a little heart, even if all you did was pay $5 for some yarn, is the best kind of gift.

Christmas shopping is always stressful, especially when you don't know what to get or don't have the time to go looking in a lot of different places. Hopefully, this list will help you on your way to buying the perfect gifts for everyone on your list.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
