Mother's Day is the one designated day a year where we get to show our moms just how much they mean to us. They may humiliate us and drive us nuts, but at the end of the day there's no one who understands us more.

While this may be true, we sometimes forget Mother's Day actually exists, and we feel really bad about it.

Here are 7 last-minute gift ideas to get mom, which are just as great if you remembered to buy them earlier.

1. Alex and Ani Mom Charm Bracelet


What better way to tell your mom that you love her than with some bling. This Alex and Ani bangle comes in gold, rose gold, and silver, and goes with everything in your mom's closet. You also don't have to worry about the size because it is adjustable for all sizes!

2. Bath Salts

Our moms do so much for us and our family, and they deserve some alone time to relax in a warm bubble bath. There are so many products to choose from, so your bound to find something that you know your mom will love.

3. Spa Trip

Take the bubble bath to the next level by giving your mom the spa day of her dreams: deep tissue massages, seaweed wraps, the works. Depending on where you go, it may be a little pricey, but that's ok, this is your mom's special day. Plus, she had to put up with you, so you kind of owe her.

4. Baked by Melissa Mother's Day Cupcakes

These NYC based delicious mini cupcakes are a sweet thank you for all the hard work your mom does for you. If the Mother's Day selection isn't to your liking (or your mother's for that matter), no worries! You can choose your own flavors in a custom pack. Bonus: they ship nationwide!

5. Personalized Phone/Laptop Case

We know our mom's need their technology as much as we do, so why not give them something personal that they will use all the time? Skinit has a massive selection of customizable cases, sleeves, and more for all of your mom's tech.

6. DIY Custom Mug

If your mom is a coffee or tea drinker, a custom mug is the perfect way to say "I love you." Get a white mug and some Sharpies and decorate a mug you know your mom will love - write her favorite quote, draw a cute picture, really anything goes. Once you're finished, bake it at 300 degrees for 35 minutes, and viola!

7. Tickets to "Mother's Day"

This might not seem like the best gift, but nothing beats spending quality time with mom. You can make a night of it by having a Mother's Day dinner beforehand, and then relaxing with some buttery popcorn and a cheesy movie.


Regardless of what you get mom, make sure she knows just how much you love and appreciate her. She is your mother afterall.

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.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
