Whether it's your brother, sister, mom, dad, cousin, aunt, uncle, best friend, significant other, or even just an acquaintance, these gifts are sure to make any music lover excited. In no particular order, here's a perfect gift giving list for your favorite music lovers in your life.

1. Guitar Gear

Anyone who plays guitar knows that picks go missing 24/7. So getting someone some cool guitar picks, or even strings, is a great gift idea.

2. Concert Tickets

Of course concert tickets are the perfect gift! It could be a favorite band, or a brand new find. Either way, it'll be a fun night.

3. Beats

The new wireless Beats by Dre are super handy and are really popular.

4. Rare records

This one is a little tough. If you know your friend is looking for a particular record that they're obsessed with, dig a little and try and find it. This could mean driving around to record stores out of the way, or maybe even some online shopping. It'll be worth the work when you watch them unwrap the record they've been searching for.

5. Armbands

Ipod/Iphone armbands are perfect for the gym.

6. iTunes Giftcards

Most songs are $1.29, so gifting an iTunes gift card will definitely bring a smile to your friends face.

7. Concert Posters

Most can be found on band websites, but vintage concert posters are even better. Do some digging into your friends favorite band and find them some vintage wall decor.

8. Band Tees

Band tees usually range from $20-$50 but every music lover likes to have a tee to represent their favorite band.

9. 1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die by Robert Dimery

This book is a great gift that covers a wide range of musical genres from the 1950's- 2000's.

10. Record Player

Vinyl always sounds better...

11. Destination Concert Tickets

A mini vacation, plus a concert to look forward to? Yes, please. Pick a cool destination and look at some upcoming concerts. This takes a little more planning, but it will all be worth it when the gift recipient spend their present. Same goes for festival tickets!

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?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
