Gifts That Every ASU Student Wants This Year

While every year brings new products that many students want, there are a few things that specifically ASU students want to find under their tree.

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.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

Bailey Totten

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year.

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
