5 Gift Ideas For Your Friend That Has Everything
One Good Thing By Jillee

Everyone has that one friend that doesn’t want anything for Christmas or already ‘has everything.’ This year for secret santa, I received one of those friends. I had such a hard time deciding what to get her, so, of course, I looked to Pinterest. After lots of looking, this is the list I came up with:

  • Themed basket
    • My current favorite themed basket to get my friends is a ‘holiday’ basket. This includes: a cute holiday bin/tin/basket, fuzzy socks, a holiday mug, hot coco powder in a mason jar, a package of marshmallows tied with a ribbon, a holiday themed blanket, and Winter Candy Apple lotion, soaps, perfume, candle and hand sanitizer from bath and body works.
  • Adventure book
    • This gift only really works for friends that you’re close with. Buy a scrapbook, stickers, ribbon, and any other decorations you would want for a scrapbook. Then, print pictures/find mementos from times your friend and you had spent together. Create an ‘adventure book’ like in the movie ‘Up’ reminiscing your times together. Not only is it adorable, but it’s something your friend definitely won't have.
  • A day with you!
    • Plan a day with your friend! For my friend’s birthday, I took her to the city and bought her dinner and we saw a comedy show. For my mom’s birthday, I took her to Loft to shop, then to get massages, lunch, a mani-pedi, and then to a movie.
  • Something Custom
    • Depending on your friend’s interests, get her something custom! Could be a mug with her favorite movie logo on it, or a blanket with a collage of pictures of her and her friends! Walgreens and Walmart typically have some personalization services!
  • An experience
    • If she has everything, get her to try something new! Get her concert tickets, tickets to an improv show, or take her ice skating or bowling! There’s always something she hasn’t tried!

    Hopefully this short (but well thought out) list will help to make your holiday shopping a little bit easier! Happy Holidays!

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.
