Christmas is practically here and that means it's time to get gifts for all the loved ones in your life. It can sometimes be difficult to shop for others, even if you know them well, so here is a list of foolproof gifts for college students that they are sure to love!

1. Starbucks gift card.

College students love coffee, but coffee costs can add up and many students stress out about emptying their wallets to fund their coffee habits, so gift cards are a great way to help a struggling student out. Plus, going out for coffee is a common social activity, and giving them a gift card can help fund this as well.

2. Fuzzy socks.

College students, or at least college girls, will love a pair of fuzzy socks. Fuzzy socks are cute and oh so comfortable.

3. Blankets.

Another comfort, college students can never have enough blankets, especially when they're paying to run their own heat!

4. Hydroflask.

Many college students already own a Hydroflask, but if your student doesn't, get them one! They are trendy among college students and extremely durable.

5. Amazon gift card.

Amazon gift cards are pretty generic, but college students will love being able to get whatever they need and get it sent to their dorm or apartment directly. If you aren't sure what they like, this is a safe bet.

6. Bath and Bodyworks anything.

Once again, maybe more of a girly gift, Bath and Body Works is full of great-scented lotions, perfumes, and candles. Grab something that smells nice and odds are your student will love the scent too!

7. Notebooks.

College students are always taking notes for classes and beyond, so notebooks are a must.

8. Netflix gift card.

Another college student staple activity is watching Netflix. Most students have to pay monthly to keep up their subscription, so a gift card can really help them out.

9. Bluetooth speaker.

Students also love music, so a Bluetooth speaker is a great gift! They can take these speakers with them anywhere which they will love!

10. Good pens.

Once again, college students are always taking notes, so pens are critical. It really is the little things that mean the most.

11. Food.

Students will never turn down food. Snacks, restaurant gift cards, or homemade food, college students love it all.

12. Roku.

Roku is a streaming device that makes it easier for students to watch Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime on their television. This is a rather unique gift, but your college student is bound to love it.

13. Spotify gift card.

If your student listens to a lot of music, they probably use Spotify. This, like Netflix, is a monthly subscription, so a gift card to help offset costs will definitely be a welcome gift.

14. Hammock.

Hammocks are big with many college students. They take them camping or just hang them up around campus. If your student is outdoorsy, then they will love a cool hammock.

15. Board/Card games.

Students often enjoy playing games with ones another as well. Find a new board or card game for your student and their friends to figure out and they are sure to have a good time.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
