5 Gift Sites for Nerds!

We all know that nerds run the world. So why not give a gift that'll last until next year! Here are five websites that'll make the nerd in your life giddy with glee.

1. Geekwrapped.com

Ever wanted a pair of light up headphones? A smartphone zoom lens? Oh, oh I know how about some lightsaber chopsticks? Well, have no fear because Geekwrapped.com serves all your eclectic needs. Ranging from popular tv show props, to cool clothes all the way to chalkboard balloons. Yeah, you read that correctly I said, Chalkboard balloons! This site will definitely turn some heads but will bring out anyone's inner geek/nerd!

2. LootCrate.com

Remember as a kid you'd receive something in the mail and you'd run to see what it was? Now imagine running to find a giant crate with all collectibles, apparel, and posters waiting just for you! Lootcrate is exactly that, a big crate with themes ranging from comic books, anime, wrestling, and so much more! With the limited edition crates available as well, the nerd in your life can receive exclusive items!

3. Jackofalltradesclothing.com

This is all for my comic book nerds out there. I can bet this has happened to you. You're walking down the street or in a mall and you see an awesome Superhero t-shirt and you're wondering; WHERE DID THEY GET THAT?! Have no fear Jack of all trades clothing is here! This website has tons and I mean tons of superhero t-shirts. Now I know you've got the big dogs, Superman, Batman and Wonderwoman but when's the last time you saw a Nightwing or Voltron T-shirt on a website? They have it all here!

4. Thinkgeek.com

"Hey isn't this the first website you listed?" They may look a bit similar but thinkgeek.com pertains more towards popular apparel and collectibles. Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, StarWars, these are instantly recognizable names. They offer clothing, collectibles and other fun stuff for the family!

5. Gamefly.com

I know you've seen the commercials and before you groan let me just say think about it. When you were younger you may have borrowed games from siblings or friends. Perhaps like me, you had to go down to BlockBuster and rent games. As a kid, I'm betting 100 percent you'd want games shipped to your house with no late fees. Gamefly.com is basically Netflix for video games. Rent the game, play as long as you want then send it back!

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

"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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
