The Perfect Gift To Get For Each Enneagram Number This Christmas SZN That Santa Would Approve

Ian Cron did a podcast on this very subject and instead of making you listen to the whole 40minute conversation I decided to give you my very best list so you can get something special for everyone on your list. On a side note, Santa is most definitely a two if you were curious. On now onto the presents.

1. The Perfectionist - a gift card to The Container Store

Giphy

The container store strikes a special chord with even the messiest and disorganized person there is. Therefore it is heaven for a one. Don't try to buy them what you think is best, they know better. You are the student, they are the master.

2. The Helper - A Cook Book 

Giphy

A cook book allows a two to do what they do best: helping others by cooking them a nice meal. Plus it's low key a gift for you too. Everyone wins.

3. The Achiever - A 2019 Planner 

Giphy

Threes are ambitious and goal oriented but sometimes can lack the organization and execution to achieve it. Therefore a nice planner is ideal. Sneak a peak at the planner that they use and get that. Don't try to get fancy and buy them a new brand. The three knows what they want and will return it.

4. The Individualist - one on one time  

Giphy

Fours are often insecure about abandonment and if people truly understand there authentic selves. Therefore pick something specific that you know they enjoy and do it with them. This shows "hey, I know you" and "I want to spend time with you." Are they crafty? Take them to a ceramics class. Sporty? Try a yoga class together! Anything that involves being active is also super ideal because that helps get them outside of their feelings and into their bodies. So go show your moody four friends some extra love!

5. The Investigator - a day at the spa (alone.) 

Giphy

Alone time is super important to a five. Therefore show them you care by giving them the best alone time ever. They will thank you later. So also a bed tent? Look it up. Only a five would like such a thing.

6. The Loyalist - fidget Spinner 

Giphy

...... or something else that helps with anxiety or momentary stress (but personally I think the fidget spinner is superior). Sixes are some of the best friends ever, but they struggle with anxiety, stress, and doubt. This gift shows them you love them at their best and worst. Plus fidget spinners are just freakin cool.

7. The Enthusiast - Heelys 

Giphy

Heelys and other toys that make you think "who thinks of this stuff??" are made specifically for sevens. Typically sevens are looking for the next adventure and fun experience that can take their mind out of the present. Sevens are typically stuck thinking of the next adventure before they can experience the joy of the present. Well now sevens can enjoy the present on the move.

8. The Challenger - A Kickboxing Class 

Giphy

Eights have a little bit of a temper and aggression and if they can channel this side of them, eights become incredible leaders. So give your favorite eight the gift that keeps on giving.

9. The Peacemaker - A Moleskin Journal 

Giphy

Sometimes nines are so worried about other people's feelings that they forget to think of themselves and their wellbeing. So giving a nine some time and a space for inner reflection is ideal this holiday season. This time can be stressful for everyone, but even more so for the caring nines in your life.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
