Attention high school graduates: When people ask you what you would like for a graduation present, this is what you need to say.

1. Giftcards for places that aren't fast food

I know you might not think it, but you will get tired of cafeteria food and junk food. I did at least. Try dropping hints that you want giftcards to Panera or Blue Baker. Trust me, you'll be happy you did.

2. A water heater

Listen, if you need hot water for oatmeal, tea, ramen, or so you can use your fancy little french press coffee maker but don't have a stove then you need a water heater. I've used mine almost everyday and I love it.

3. A foldable laundry basket

Pay attention here kiddos. There's this handy little thing know as a foldable laundry basket and it will be your one true love. If you are living in a dorm you won't have much room, erasing the bulk of a laundry basket is one of the smartest things you could do.

4. A collection of office supplies

You kind of forget about this when your parents have all of the office supplies that but you're going to love it when someone gives you a stapler. Just saying.

5. Giftcards to grocery stores

Whenever I want a snack to stow away in my dorm I go to the grocery store and let me tell you that I would adore having an HEB or Walmart giftcard.

6. Laundry supplies

Hear me out on this one. Someone gave me a thing of laundry detergent and it has lasted me the entire semester. I was also given this little lingerie wash bag and let me tell you it's a lifesaver. So if someone gives you laundry supplies just know you're going to be thanking your lucky stars later.

7. A backrest pillow

This might be my absolute favorite thing. It's supper comfy and provides that much needed support when you want to do your homework (or watch Netflix) in bed.

8. Giftcards to Bed Bath & Beyond

Aka, the ultimate college freshman store. I'm not kidding when I say my dorm is probably 82% Bed Bath and Beyond and I'm not mad about it.
