10 Best Christmas Grab Bag Gift Ideas For Adults

Every Christmas eve, my family gathers at my grandma's house to celebrate my favorite day of the year. We enjoy great Italian food, many laughs and, most importantly, the annual grab bag game. Each person brings a gift, costing around $20, and we pick numbers to decide the order of who chooses first. Some people take the grab bag seriously, and buy gifts they actually think others will use. And some, like my Uncle Tony, choose items like an Obama chia pet. Over the last couple of years, I have gotten a pretty good idea of the crowd favorites -- not to mention fighting over items everyone wants to steal. If you're in need of grab gift ideas for adults, bring any one of these eight gifts to this year's Christmas and your success is almost guaranteed.

1. Chocolate covered popcorn

Chocolate covered popcorn and Christmas go together like bacon and eggs.

2. Ornament

This gift will remind them of you for many years to come.

3. Collection of wine glasses or shot glasses

The perfect grab bag gift for adults who want to maintain the holiday spirit while getting drunk.

4. A bottle of wine

Because who doesn't like a good bottle of wine?

5. Coffee mugs and hot chocolate

Get them the official Christmas drink to keep them warm and fuzzy throughout the holiday season.

6. Your favorite movie, candy, and a six-pack of beer

For a holiday evening well spent.

7. Apparel from your favorite sports team or college

Every true fan needs those.

8. Cooking utensils, oven mitts, cookie cutters, etc.

All the good movies are released around the holiday season.

10. Lottery Tickets

Make Christmas day their lucky day.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
