For many parents, having their child go through their first semester of college is hard when it comes to the holidays. For me, I didn't even get to spend Thanksgiving at home thanks to ridiculously high flight pricing. But gift giving is a whole other problem. Usually, parents seem to get a good idea about what their kids want because they spend every day with them but when your kid grows up and heads to college, you might be left in the dark with ideas. That's why I created this gift guide, and let me tell you, every ASU student will want pretty much all of these.

Air Pods

There is not a day that goes by where I don't see someone with air pods while walking to class. Not only are they just the thing to have this year, they actually are pretty neat and have some good uses. When you're working out and you don't want to be bothered with all the chords from regular headphones and have no place to put your phone, or when you need to charge your phone, but also want to listen to music or watch a video and you have to pick which one is more important.

Electric Scooter

If you say the word "bird" or "lime" around any ASU student, they will NOT know what you're talking about. These electric scooters are everywhere and they're probably every student's favorite way of getting to class. Yes, they're fun, but not when you ride 10 in one day and then check your bank account. Getting an ASU student their own electric scooter is the perfect gift and would probably save them a lot of money in the future.

Hydro Flask

Being from the East Coast, when someone mentioned a hydro flask the first time I came to Arizona, I looked at them like they had four heads. I had no idea what a hydro flask was, I was only familiar with a Yeti. However, Hydro flasks are a very Arizona thing. Student's love to customize them with stickers, so that could be another additional gift to go along with it. These water bottles really do keep your water freezing cold for hours, which is especially useful when you're walking to class in 112-degree weather and really need a sip of water. They come in so many colors and sizes too.

Bluetooth Speaker

There is nothing more disappointing than when you want to go hang out with some friends in their dorm and you can hear nothing but the air conditioner. A Bluetooth speaker is a great way to add something else to a dorm room get together.

Money

When all else fails, you can never go wrong with a big stack of cash. Pretty much all college student's are broke so a little bit goes a loooong way this holiday season.

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. 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.
