In This Article:

College students are at the age of trying to not go broke but also not being able to get away with cute little kid gifts anymore. The struggle of this is trying to think of things to get for people. Now the holidays aren't just about gift-giving but it's the most stressful part. My go-to is to always create gifts. Now I may not be the most artistic person so these can be for anyone!

Wine Bottles- for the Aunts and Uncles

Trying to recycle is the first thing I do when trying to thing of gift ideas. It's good for the environment and can be a really cute gift. You can personalize them too! Maybe with their favorite colors or favorite animal. It's super simple, you just need wine bottles, paint, and a paint brush.

Winter Hat ornaments- for grandparents

These winter hats are so cute and take no time at all! Yarn, scissors, and toilet paper rolls are the only things you need. This is again a great way to recycle things. Grandparents will love these little hats, and they'll have a constant reminder of you in their house.

Paintings - for Parents

Parents, no matter how old you get, love to get paintings and drawing from their children. It comes from the heart and allows you to show your more artistic side.

Book Clocks - Significant others parents or grandparents

These are so cute and great decorations. They are a bit more time to make since you have to cut through pages and put the hardware together but it's so rewarding in the end to see the final product.

Sports Ball Painting - Cousins or significant other

This is so fun to do. Take the sport they play or they like and paint it into something cool like a sunset. A few spray paint colors and tape is all you would need. It comes out so fun and cute.

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.

"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.

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.

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?
