6 Things To Purchase with Money from the Holiday's

It's the Holiday season and chances are you have one relative that gave you the wonderful gift of cash this season! Now, the question is, are you going to save the money or going to spend it? Here's a list of things that you can purchase online following the Holiday's.

Disclaimer: The photos will take you (if clicked on) to a place you can purchase them but please remember I do not own these products from these companies therefore cannot guarantee their greatness or that they are the best offers.

1. Waterproof Portable Speaker

If you're like me and attempted to listen to music in the shower and realized its difficulty, then you might think of purchasing a wireless, waterproof speaker. It's something music lover's alike would love.

2. Tile

Do you lose things a lot? Because, I do. I even lost my tile that is still in its box. If you want to spend money on something practical, a tile might be perfect. It can help ease that fear of losing important pocessions.

3. Headphones to Sleep With

Living in a shared space can make it difficult to blast your favorite tunes and I personally find that earbuds and headphones are both uncomfortable to sleep in. This, though a little gimmichy might be the solution for that uncomfortable feelings you get after wearing earbuds or earphones for a long time.

4. Instant Polaroid Printer for Mobile Phones

I've seen this around a lot, instant printers that take the images on your phone and print them out through USB. If you take a lot of photos, this is a must.

5. Decorations for Your Dorm

Decorate, decorate, decorate. It's about to be the beginning of the second semester and with it, it's time to re-decorate and update your living spaces. Personalize living spaces with these super cute fairy light and clip string that can hang all of your favorite photos.

6. Donate

While all of these items might be something you'd like to have - chances are you don't need them. Instead of purchasing something for yourself, you can choose to donate instead. If you're interested in donating this Holiday season, Dancember is an amazing event that helps support child hunger.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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.
