After getting through another semester filled with drama, crazy weather, homework, and other problems, college students want to enjoy the holiday break. This means that students get more time to spend with family and friends. During the Christmas season, there are many things that make this a special time of the year, so it is important to let these scholars know how much they are appreciated and recognized for their accomplishments. Here are some gifts that college students would love to get for Christmas.

1. Programmable alarm clock

Most college students have to get up early for their classes, and this means remembering to set an alarm to remind them. However, it's unlikely they will always have the motivation or positive attitude to go (thanks to homework) and sit in a boring lecture. Their schedules changes, so they will need a gift that can fit daily routines. Smart alarm clocks wake students up at different times according to their class schedule so they will not oversleep or panic about being late.

2. Rocketbook Wave Smart Notebook

Taking class notes can really be a pain, especially if your handwriting is messy or the notebook you use is a three subject. College students would definitely enjoy this high-tech notebook where they can send their class notes right to the cloud. The notebook combines with the Rocketbook app for their phones. This allows students to take notes more efficiently.

3. Homesick candles

Despite all the problems students face daily, college is still a fun place. After a while, they will start to miss their homes and the town where they grew up. These candles are unique because they have the scent of every U.S. state. Now college students have a small reminder of home. It is a nice addition to any dorm room and a great cure for homesick students.

4. Life hack book

There are many things in life that can be frustrating like laundry, finances, and studying. Instead of allowing college students to go crazy trying to figure out everything the hard way, this is a gift that will make life easier for them. They can read about different life hacks to overcome situations that are challenging. Students will learn tips on how to remember things, save money, and other useful information. They can share this advice with their friends and classmates, as well.

5. Metal dog balloon sculpture

Here is a gift that is cool, amazing, and a little weird. However, it's also something that college students can put on their desk or near the window. Roommates might think it is funny, while their friends may find it to be strange. This is a fun gift for any student because of the design and nostalgia of childhood but is a great choice for those majoring in the fine arts.

6. 5-in-1 tool pen

Every college student needs a pencil or pen to write notes, but what if they had a tool that had other unique features? This gadget has a screwdriver, stylus, bubble level, ruler, and pen. With multiple uses, students will absolutely love this gift.

7. "Be Yourself" paperweight

With all the stress going on in college, sometimes we need to tell students to have confidence in themselves. This gift will do just that. It is a great reminder that friends will be there for them, and they should never give up on their goals.

8. Stackable lunch pot

Among finishing homework, writing essays, and getting to class on time, food is a necessity at college. Students will love this BPA-free polypropylene plastic container for storing their lunch and snacks. It's an awesome gift for commuters.

9. JBL Flip 4 waterproof portable Bluetooth speaker

For students who want to throw a party at the end of the semester. One of the best things about this gift is that it's fun and transportable. After months of hard work, this speaker will make the next college or summer party an awesome one.

10. Beats headphones

When students are studying for exams or want to relax for a while, they can listen to music with this gift. These headphones are the most popular. They are strong and have adjustable volume. Students can listen to any kind of music, but for an excellent sound, they should play something modern. When it comes time for exams, this is the gift they need.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
