The Best Gifts For Journalism Majors

We're journalists. We're storytellers, critical thinkers, communicators, and researchers. We are creative, enjoy expressing ourselves through our writing, and possess a wide range of skills. But-most of all- we hate math. Here are some of the best gifts you could give to a journalism major to make them smile this holiday season.


Polaroid cameras.

Many journalists enjoy photo-journaling. Cameras that print polaroids are fun, relatively inexpensive, and will never go out of style. There is something special about being able to hold a physical photo -- rather than have all digital photos on a device --that journalists enjoy.

Artwork.

We're college students, and our living spaces are as bland as can be. As journalists, we like to be creative, and looking at art can help get our juices flowing. And make our rooms prettier.

Nice pens.

Yes, there is a difference between a Papermate Black Cap and a Pilot G2.

Laptop.

Most students have a laptop going into college. This is almost a necessity for any major. Journalism majors in particular, however, do a large amount of writing, so laptops are even more crucial to our success.

Lap-desk.

A lap-desk is great for late nights studying, when you need to switch up locations and get away from your desk to stay alert and refreshed.

A new planner.

It's important for us to stay organized in order to keep track of all of our deadlines and commitments. A new planner is the perfect holiday gift because the new year is right around the corner!

Books.

While we may not have a ton of time on our hands for leisurely reading, it's something that most of us love to do.

Noise canceling headphones.

One of the best gifts I have ever received, that has actually been useful to me in college, are my Bose noise canceling headphones. They make it possible for me to stay concentrated whether at the library or in my room, because they block out any extra noise or distractions that may interfere with my studying. While they are pricey, they are an amazing and useful purchase.

Caffeine.

Coffees, mugs, teas, cups -- we love it all.

Notebooks.

It's always nice for us to have an extra notebook around, if needed.

New gadgets.

We love high-tech digital cameras, action cameras, smartphones, laptops, and devices.

Surprise a journalism major with any of these gift ideas this year!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
